Twenty-four cases of pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland were retrospectively reviewed. The histopathological features of capsular thickness, penetration and completeness, tumoral cell population and mitotic activity were analyzed in twelve superficial lobe and twelve deep lobe tumors. The capsules were found to be significantly thicker and less likely to be penetrated by tumor in the deep lobe group. No significant differences in completeness of encapsulation, cell population or mitotic activity were found between the two groups. This may explain the clinical suggestion that the less aggressive surgical approach which is often performed does not compromise the prognosis for recurrence in the deep lobe lesions.

Pleomorphic adenomas are benign salivary gland tumours, which predominantly affect the superficial lobe of the parotid gland. The “pleomorphic” nature of the tumour can be explained on the basis of its epithelial and connective tissue origin. The tumour has a female predilection between 30-50 years of age. Slowly progressing asymptomatic swelling is the usual presentation of the tumour. Surgical excision of the tumour mass forms the mainstay of treatment, with utmost care taken to preserve the facial nerve. This case report aims to throw light on an interesting case of pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland in a 10 years old female patient. The patient presented with a slowly progressing asymptomatic swelling on the right side of the face, which was diagnosed to be pleomorphic adenoma of right parotid gland. The aim of the study is to discuss how to proceed regarding the further management.

Pleomorphic Adenomas

Background: A pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary gland neoplasm in both children and adults. Pleomorphic adenomas are derived from ductal and myoepithelial cells and are most commonly found in the superficial lobe of the parotid gland. The purpose of this article is to discuss the genes involved in pleomorphic adenomas and the possible autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Case Description: The first patient was a white male who was diagnosed with carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, a highly aggressive tumor, at the age of 57. He had an undiagnosed pleomorphic adenoma for approximately 15 years prior. The tumor was excised and the patient underwent radiation in the location of his parotid gland for 4 years until he deceased. The second patient is a white female, his daughter, who was diagnosed with a benign pleomorphic adenoma at the age of 46. Her salivary gland tumor was excised and normal follow up appointments occurred. Practical Implications: Pleomorphic adenomas most commonly affect the parotid gland, the largest of the three major salivary gland tumors. Occurrence and excision of this salivary gland tumor will cause a decrease in the secretion of saliva, leading to a dry mouth and an increased risk of caries.

Neurogenic Origin

Majority of the tumour of parotid gland is benign in nature. Neurogenic origin of tumor is a rare entity. If it occurs, the tumour usually arises from the main trunk. A well encapsulated mass originated deep to the deep lobe of parotid may manifest itself like a typical pleomorphic adenoma. We reported a case of middle-aged man with infratemporal neurofibroma presenting with asymptomatic parotid mass.

We describe a case of a malignant change in a calcified pleomorphic adenoma of the deep lobe of the parotid gland in a patient whose initial symptom was facial pain. We also discuss the relative merits of the different imaging modalities as they apply to the parotid gland.
