  • Title: Simultaneous pleomorphic adenomas of the hard palate and parapharyngeal space.
    Author: Pelaz AC, Llorente Pendás JL, Bueno GC, Suárez Nieto C.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2009 Jul; 20(4):1298-9. PubMed ID: 19625855.
    Abstract:
    We report a very unusual presentation of simultaneous pleomorphic adenomas of 2 different locations, hard palate and parapharyngeal space. Patient age of presentation is rare because these tumors are seen in younger patients. We treated a 70-year-old woman with these 2 tumors, resecting both lesions with intraoral and cervical approaches. Pleomorphic adenomas are frequent lesions, but in the literature reviewed, we have not found articles reporting 2 simultaneous pleomorphic adenomas of these locations. Complete surgical resection is very important to avoid recurrences.
