[Giant pleomorphic adenoma of the submaxillar gland: a case report].
The authors are reporting of an exceptional case of giant cell tumor of the submaxillar gland in a lady of 76 years old. She presents a progressively slow evolution within a period of 40 years. After a standard check up, a submaxillectomy was carded out. The weight of the operated mass was 3 kg before the pathological fixation. The post-operative period was without any problems and the patient was discharged after fifteen days. The anatomo-pathological examination concluded a pleomophic adenoma developed by the salivery gland.
