Pleomorphic adenoma of the cheek: A case report arising from accessory parotid gland around Stensen's duct orifice

Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign salivary tumor, originating from various areas besides major or minor salivary glands. We present a case of a patient with buccal mass. Tadpole's sign in preoperative axial CT scan indicated the relation of tumor and Stensen's duct orifice. Pathologic report was pleomorphic adenoma. To our knowledge, this is the first reported pleomorphic adenoma of Stensen's duct orifice. Resection of the tumor with reconstruction of the orifice is the preferable treatment.
