Abstract
A case demonstrating a huge pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland is reported. The patient was a 55-year-old female who complained of palpitation, hypertension and a right cervical mass. The abnormal circulatory findings were not definitely confirmed by the preoperative laboratory date. However, the symptoms markedly improved after a parotidectomy. These findings suggest that a huge mass pressed against the common carotid artery which resulted in a reduced blood flow at the carotid sinus and thus inducing palpitation and hypertension through the baroreflex.
