Surgical Treatment of Rare Sclerosing Polycystic Adenosis of the Deep Parotid Gland.

Sclerosing polycystic adenosis (SPA) is a rare salivary gland lesion that was first reported in 1966.1 It is characterized by a benign, sporadic, and rarely multifocal lesion that mostly arises from a parotid gland.1 Surgical tumor excision followed by immunohistochemical confirmation is essential to establish a definitive diagnosis. However, the standard surgical procedure for the treatment of SPA is not well established. To make plastic surgeons familiar with this disease, we describe a case of SPA and discuss the diagnostic and treatment protocols that were employed.
