A 40-year-old-woman presented with swelling and pain of the right buccal mucosa. The swelling protruded intraorally. An incisional biopsy revealed pleomorphic adenoma in the pterygomandibular space. The tumor was surgically removed via a mandibular swing approach. The entire resected specimen was submitted to histopathological evaluation, which showed solid and myxomatous areas, typical of pleomorphic adenoma, throughout the tumor specimen. No recurrence was observed during 3 years of follow up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
