[The cancerous recurrence of a pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid. Comments on a case].
After taking the clinical case examined as a starting point and supporting the data obtained with a literature analysis of the cancerous relapse of a parotid pleomorphic adenoma, the Authors suggested a suitable surgical operation (total parotidectomy with conservation of the facial nerve) in the treatment of parotid pleomorphic adenoma. Doing so, it is possible to avoid a relapse of neoplasm and a possible transformation into malignancy. Furthermore it might prevent the formation of parotid carcinoma.
