Abstract
Background
: Salivary gland neoplasms are relatively rare tumors of the head and neck, with large tumors being extremely uncommon.
Case Report
: We report the first published case in the Western World of a massive pleomorphic adenoma of the submandibular gland.
Conclusion
: Such tumors need to be carefully assessed and treated with surgical excision as they harbour a risk for malignant degeneration. The potential for recurrence following resection mandates ongoing follow-up in this cohort of patients.
Keywords :
Head, Humans, Neck, Pleomorphic Adenoma, Salivary Gland Neoplasms.
