Our team of experienced surgeons and medical professionals offers comprehensive services, including diagnosis, treatment, and post-operative care, ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients across the USA.

Understanding Pleomorphic Adenoma

Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor that primarily affects the parotid gland, though it can also occur in other salivary glands. This tumor is characterized by its slow growth and typically presents as a painless, firm, and mobile mass near the jaw, in front of the ear, or under the chin. While these tumors are non-cancerous, they have the potential to transform into malignant tumors if left untreated.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

Common symptoms of pleomorphic adenoma include:

• A painless lump near the jaw or ear
• Facial asymmetry
• Difficulty swallowing or speaking

Diagnosis involves a thorough clinical examination, imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans, and fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) to confirm the presence of the tumor.

Treatment Options for Pleomorphic Adenoma

The primary treatment for pleomorphic adenoma is surgical excision. Depending on the tumor's location and size, procedures may include:

• Superficial parotidectomy: Removal of the tumor along with a portion of the parotid gland.
• Total parotidectomy: Complete removal of the parotid gland.

These procedures aim to remove the tumor entirely while preserving the facial nerve to prevent complications such as facial paralysis.
