Overview

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for pleomorphic adenoma. There are two procedures superficial parotidectomy and total parotidectomy, the latter of which is the most commonly performed one due to its low incidence on recurrence of the tumor. The complications after surgery include facial nerve palsy, frey's syndrome, trismus, haematoma or haemorrhage and wound infection. Recurrence do occur in pleomorphic adenoma sometimes.

Indications

  • Surgical intervention is recommended for the management of pleomorphic adenoma.
