Clinical Presentation The pleomorphic adenoma is a benign yet true neoplasm. It will continue to grow, or regrow if not completely excised, but it is incapable of metastasis. Seventy-five percent of tumors that occur in the parotid gland in adults are pleomorphic adenomas and 5% are Warthin tumors. Pleomorphic adenomas account for 45% of all […]

The main advantage of marsupialization and decompression is the preservation of important anatomical structures such as inferior alveolar nerve and the prevention of a consequent possible deformity. In marsupialization technique, a part of the KOT’s body is cut and removed followed by suturing the lesion’s exposed boundaries to the adjacent mucosa. The created surgical window

Salivary Gland Neoplasms Salivary gland tumors may involve major or minor glands, but the majority of cases are found within the parotid gland. While most types of tumors may be found in both sites, relative frequency can vary. Thus, approximately 80% of parotid tumors are benign. In minor salivary glands, however, the benign-malignant ratio is
