Abstract
- Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) usually arises as a benign tumor of major salivary glands. However, multiple PAs on subcutaneous preauricular region are extremely rare. A-62-year-old man presented with a pre- and infra-auricular mass of 2 years duration. An excisional biopsy revealed a pleomorphic adenoma, which originated in the subcutaneous layer. He had no sign of recurrence so far. We report a unique case of multiple extraparotid pleomorphic adenoma with a literature review.
