[Recurring tumors of the parotid gland with special reference to pleomorphic adenoma]. 1982

P M Ott, and U Grob

161 patients with parotid tumors seen between 1974 and 1980 are analyzed. A recurrence rate of 20% was found for both benign and malignant tumors. 76% of the recurrent tumors were judged to have been inadequately excised at the first operation. Pleomorphic adenomas had a recurrence rate of 25%. More than half these tumors exhibited multinodular patterns of recurrence. Therefore, a recurrent pleomorphic adenoma should not be reoperated upon for at least one year.

D008949	Adenoma, Pleomorphic	A benign, slow-growing tumor, most commonly of the salivary gland, occurring as a small, painless, firm nodule, usually of the parotid gland, but also found in any major or accessory salivary gland anywhere in the oral cavity. It is most often seen in women in the fifth decade. Histologically, the tumor presents a variety of cells: cuboidal, columnar, and squamous cells, showing all forms of epithelial growth.
