Huge Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Submandibular Gland: Report of a Case and Review of Literature
Only a small percentage of salivary gland neoplasms are pleomorphic adenomas, which are uncommon benign tumors of the submandibular gland. The 43-year-old woman in this report had a right submandibular swelling that grew gradually and painlessly over the course of two years. Pleomorphic adenoma was diagnosed by imaging, clinical examination, and fine needle aspiration cytology. The patient's vitals structures were preserved during the full surgical resection of the tumor and submandibular gland. The surgical course was unremarkable, and the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology. In order to avoid recurrence and possible malignant transformation, this case emphasizes the significance of early detection and complete surgical removal of tumor with the gland
