BACKGROUND: Pleomorphic adenoma is a salivary gland tumour and mostly found in the parotid gland and quite uncommon in the submandibular gland. Pleomorphic tumours are a mixed tumour (benign mixed tumour) consisted of epithelium, myoepithelium, and mesenchyme and made of a view component variation of it.CASE REPORT: We reported a fifty-three years old man with pleomorphic adenoma that has been complaining swelling on the left neck for the last twenty years and treated with surgical excision. Computed tomography of the neck showed soft tissue tumour in the left submandibular.CONCLUSIONS: The best management for pleomorphic adenoma is surgery, the tumour tissue must be removed as a whole because the remaining parts of a tumour can easily become recurrent or turn into a malignant tumour.

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common tumor of the benign salivary gland neoplasms, the submandibular gland is the second most common site of PA after the parotid gland. Authors present 3 series case of pleomorphic adenoma in submandibular salivary gland in institution which were admitted in institution within a month interval. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of all 3 cases proved to be benign lesion arising from submandibular salivary gland. All 3 cases underwent excision in to and the postoperative period was uneventful. DT removed on 3rd POD and discharged in POD 10. Biopsy report proved to be pleomorphic adenoma in all cases. past studies showed pleomorphic adenoma most commonly occurs in the parotid gland and its occurrence in the submandibular salivary gland is uncommon. Also, age occurrence involves 30s-50s and is more common in females. But all this case was male and occurred in older age group. Early intervention with surgical excision in toto after definite confirmation with FNAC is the treatment of choice in preventing its malignant transformation.

Background: The salivary glands tumour are relatively rare, yet they represent a wide variety of both benign and malignant histologic subtypes. Several studies have been conducted on the tumors of the parotid and minor salivary glands, but very few reports in the literature have focused on submandibular gland tumors as they are rare and are usually grouped with other salivary glands. Approximately 70% of the salivary gland tumors affect parotid gland with the submandibular gland being affected in 5-10% of the cases, sublingual gland in 1% and minor glands in 5-15% of the cases. So, we describe a series of 50 patients of pleomorphic adenoma affecting submandibular gland.Methods: The prospective study was conducted at Department of General Surgery, Indira Gandhi Government Medical College, Nagpur between January 2008 to December 2017.Results: Out of the 50 patients, 10 were male and 40 were female. Thus, male to female ratio is 1:4. Most of the 42 (84%) patients presented with painless swelling in submandibular region. Clinically the tumour has the texture of cartilage and has an irregular and bosselated surface observed in all the patients. The size of tumour was 3 to 6 cm in 32 (64%) patients observed in the present study. Fine needle aspiration cytology was performed in all the patients. All patients were managed by surgical excision.  Recurrence occurred in a single patient who was managed with radical excision including a neck dissection with postoperative radiotherapy.Conclusions: Submandibular gland pleomorphic adenoma being common benign tumor, occurring commonly between the 3rd and 5th decade of life and presenting as slow growing asymptomatic swelling with female preponderance. The precise surgical excision along with whole submandibular salivary gland and postoperative radical radiotherapy required for recurrence as the accepted mode of management. However, further long-term studies involving submandibular gland have to be carried out to know the pattern of tumor recurrence.

Recommended Treatment

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common neoplasm in major and minor salivary glands. It constitutes approximately 90% of all benign salivary gland lesions and the parotid is the most affected location. When the minor salivary glands are affected, it mostly occurs at the junction of the hard and soft palates. The diagnosis is complex because of the great histological variety and biological behavior of this tumor, a histopathological examination being essential. The recommended treatment is surgical excision. For lesions located superficially in the parotid gland, superficial parotidectomy - identifying and preserving the facial nerve - is necessary. Lesions in the palate or gums sometimes demand a margin of safety, being excised below the periosteum, including the overlying mucosa. With correct surgical removal, the prognosis is excellent. The aim of this study is to report a case of an unusual minor salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma in the hard palate, describing the most important aspects of this pathology.

Intramuscular Haemangioma

Intramuscular haemangioma, though benign, may be a serious disorder, because its large size can cause functional impairment, pain and disfigurement, which may require surgical excision. These, as well as the baffling histopathological aspects, are exemplified by this report of an intramuscular haemangioma of the forearm in an adolescent girl. Clinical recognition of a cutaneous angioma overlying a deeply-situated soft tissue tumour may aid the diagnosis of an intramuscular haemangioma.

Arcanobacterium haemolyticum has usually been isolated in cases of pharyngitis and wound infections. Rarely it has been reported to cause deep tissue infections. Here, a case of a 71-year-old-male, who developed a pelvic abscess due to A. haemolyticum that initially was thought to be a malignant tumour, is described.

Benign Tumours

A 40-year-old Caucasian, the otherwise healthy male patient, presented with 3-years history of a prominent tumor-like formation, located on his back, without subjective complaints. Initially, the lesion was 1-2 cm in size but gradually increased to a visible-pronounced tumor-like formation. No other dermatologic diseases, neither other known abnormalities were reported for the medical and family history.  Softly-elastic on palpation tumor-like formation was established in the left infrascapular area of the back, measuring 8/9 cm in diameter. The lesion was clinically suspected for lipoma or another soft-tissue tumour with benign nature, so the patient underwent planned surgical excision under local anaesthesia. A tumour was excited with deep elliptical excision and furthered for histological evaluation, while the wound edges were sutured with single cutaneous stitches. Additionally, a large black-colored tattoo of the Bulgarian historical noble Khan Krum was also observed within the clinical examination, covering almost the whole upper 1/3 part of the patient’s back Within the careful clinical observation of the tattoo, we noticed a fibroma-like lesion, affecting the noble’s right iris. Fibromas are common benign tumours in Caucasians, composed of fibrous or connective tissue. They can be seen in all organs from mesenchymal tissue, in varies size. Eyelids are often commonly affected in elderly. Although very commonly seen in every day dermatological practice, fibromas have been never reported, located in the iris. In the presented case, a small ʺiris-fibromaʺ, hidden within a black-colored tattoo was diagnosed in a patient with lipoma, as a sporadic clinical finding.

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a common tumor of the salivary gland, but rarely occurs in the breast. PA of the breast is a benign tumor that usually presents as a periareolar nodule. Core-needle biopsies may yield misdiagnosis with complex fibroadenoma, phyllodes tumor and metaplastic breast cancer due to the mixture of stromal and epithelial elements. We present a case of PA of the breast suspected after core-needle biopsy, but confirmed after surgical excision. The importance to make a correct diagnosis consists in avoid extensive unnecessary surgery, such as mastectomy, since PA can be treated with local surgical resection.
