Adenoma, Pleomorphic - Surgery
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Adenoma, Pleomorphic'A benign, slow-growing tumor, most commonly of the salivary gland, occurring as a small, painless, firm nodule, usually of the parotid gland, but also found in any major or accessory salivary gland anywhere in the oral cavity. It is most often seen in women in the fifth decade. Histologically, the tumor presents a variety of cells: cuboidal, columnar, and squamous cells, showing all forms of epithelial growth.

Simultaneous pleomorphic adenomas of the hard palate and parapharyngeal space.
29 Jun 2009 
We report a very unusual presentation of simultaneous pleomorphic adenomas of 2 different locations, hard palate and parapharyngeal space. Patient age of presentation is rare because these tumors are seen in younger patients. We treated a ... Read more...
Preoperative cytodiagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma with extensive lipometaplasia: a case report.
29 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Pleomorphic adenoma with extensive lipometaplasia is a rare, benign tumor of salivary gland origin. To the best of our knowledge, the fine needle aspiration cytologic features of this distinct morphologic entity have not been docnmented ... Read more...
Lipomatous apocrine mixed tumor of the skin: an unusual giant lesion occurring in the breast.
30 May 2009 Cutaneous mixed tumors (MTs), also known as chondroid syringomas, usually arise as small nodules in the head and neck region. We describe an unusual case of a giant MT measuring 9 cm in its greatest diameter, occurring as a slowly growing ... Read more...
