Gigantic Submandibular Pleomorphic adenoma: A rare case report

2019 
Abstract Introduction Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign salivary gland tumor. When neglected on some occasions, its size and weight can enormously augment. Case presentation We report a case of a giant submandibular pleomorphic adenoma in a 75 years old female patient which measured 34 × 26 × 20 cm and weighed 8.1 kg. Conclusion Neglecting such tumors without treatment, can cause severe facial disfigurement and can even hinder the airway.
