A giant tumor of the parotid gland: A case report

Abstract

A case of a giant parotid gland tumor diagnosed to be pleomorphic adenoma is herein described. A 64-year-old female presented with a mass which had grown to 10×10×13cm in size. Although the tumor was large, the suture of the wound after a surgical resection posed no problems. The facial nerve was also adequately preserved. In the post-surgical follow-up no evidence of either Frey's syndrome or tumor recurrence has been observed to date.
