title: [Pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland. Cases contribution].
abstract: Data relating to a series of 23 pleiomorphous adenomas of the parotid (19 primary forms and 4 previously operated recurrences) are reported. The ages most affected are the 4th, 5th and 6th decades with a higher incidence of females. The most commonly adopted surgery was extracapsular enucleoresection of the tumour (17 cases) followed by superficial parotidectomy (4 cases) and total parotidectomy (2 cases). No significant post-operative complications were observed. Anesthetic results were excellent. No recurrences were observed during follow-up.
