Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma of the parotid gland.

چکیده
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.

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...

Our patient, a 46-year-old female, presented with a left parotid mass of 20-year duration. Histopathologic results showed t...

In rare cases, the mass can also occ...
