Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma.
Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinomas are minor salivary gland neoplasms with a predilection for intraoral sites. Women are affected twice as frequently as men, and generally present in the fifth to sixth decade of life with a painless ihaoral mass. The palatal mass is, on average, about 2 cm in greatest dimension. The tumors are submucosal, identified below an intact mucosa as a well-circumsc...
متن کاملPolymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma of the parotid gland.
Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) of the parotid gland is rare. We describe a new case in which the patient underwent parotidectomy only to experience an extensive recurrence 2 years later. The recurrence was treated with radical surgical excision and radiation therapy, and the patient remained disease-free at 5 years of follow-up. We also review the literature on primary parotid PLGA.

Abstract Introduction: Polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is a rare salivary gland neoplasm with an indolent course. It occurs primarily in the minor salivary glands but can rarely occur in the major salivary glands. It usually occurs in the fifth to seventh decades of life with female preponderance. Case Report: A 16-year-old male presented with recurrent painless swelling in the r...
متن کاملCribriform adenocarcinoma of minor salivary gland: A mimic of polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma
Adenocarcinoma is relatively less common on the tongue.[1] Polymorphous low‐grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is a malignant tumor of minor salivary glands which is slow growing and carries a low metastatic potential. Histologically, PLGA exhibits a spectrum of growth patterns such as cribriform, tubular, trabecular, fascicular and solid structures. Concentric whorls forming target‐like patterns are ...
متن کاملPolymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma of the parotid gland. Case report and review of the literature.
Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is difficult to diagnose both clinically and histologically due to its indolent presentation, and because of its morphological diversity that includes several microscopic patterns. The aggressive biologic behavior seen in minor salivary glands as compared to major glands is apparently associated histologically to a predominance of the papillary patte...
