Giant Pleomorphic Adenoma of Infratemporal Fossa: A Rare Case Report.
Of all the head and neck tumors, salivary gland tumors account to 3%. Pleomorphic adenomas are one of the most common benign tumors arising from major salivary glands, although it could also develop from minor salivary glands situated at accessory sites like nasal cavity, pharynx, parapharyngeal space, lacrimal glands etc. Tumors of infratemporal fossa are quite unusual, mainly because of its hidden location in retromaxillary region. We report an unusual case of 65 years old male presenting with complaint of progressive left cheek swelling for 4 years. FNAC revealed pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary gland tumor. Intraoperatively a giant lobulated tumor was seen occupying almost whole space of infratemporal fossa, which was removed in-toto via open approach. Patient was kept on regular follow up with no evidence of recurrence reported till date.
