Abstract
-
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common tumor of parotid glands, presented clinically as an asymptomatic slowly growing tumor of pre-or infra-auricular area. In dermatologic department, it can be clinically misdiagnosed as various dermal or subcutaneous tumors. We describe herein a patient who had a pleomorphic adenoma and an epidermal cyst, which appeared similar subcutaneous nodules and diagnosed separately by its characteristic pathologic findings.
