Pleomorphic adenoma of right lateral nasal wall- unusual presentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign salivary gland tumor, mainly of the major salivary glands (65%), especially in the parotid and less frequently in minor salivary glands (35%) found in the upper aerodigestive tract including the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, maxillary sinus , out of which 80 % are found in the nasal septum and 20 % in lateral wall or turbinate. They are benign of long duration, incomplete resection may lead to recurrence and increased chances of malignant transformation, hence early diagnosis using Fine needle aspiration, biopsy and complete excision with its pseudocapsule and surrounding margins is important.
