  • Title: The Le Fort I osteotomy as surgical approach of an extensive pleomorphic adenoma of the palate.
    Author: Sotong JP, Zavattero E, Garzino-Demo P, Bianchi FA, Ramieri G.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2015 May; 26(3):e262-4. PubMed ID: 25974826.
    Abstract:
    Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign mixed salivary gland tumor. We describe here a peculiar case of a 72-year-old woman with a PA of the palate resected with palatal approach combined with Le Fort I osteotomy, adding to the currently limited scientific literature on intraoral approach for removal of extensive tumors of the midface. The Le Fort I osteotomy approach allows direct visualization of the tumor and ensures a wide excision, increasing safety and minimizing the possibility of recurrence.
