Extracapsular Dissection for Small Benign Tumors of Parotid Gland: A Case Report on Contemporary Technique.

2021 
Salivary gland tumor looms as painless enlarging mass which may embrace in both major or minor glands. Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) accord about 40-70% of all salivary gland tumors, where Warthin tumor, basal cell adenoma (BCA), adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), and sebaceous tumors have a strong predilection for major salivary gland. However, polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) has a marked predilection for the minor salivary gland. We present a case of PA in a 26-year-old male patient that has been successfully managed by extracapsular dissection (ECD) without any post-operative complications.
