Soft Palatal Pleomorphic Adenoma with Dystrophic Calcifications and Upper Airway Obstruction
摘要
Pleomorphic salivary adenoma (PSA) is a benign tumor composed of epithelial and mesenchymal elements. Approximately 10% of pleomorphic adenomas occur in the minor salivary glands, with the palate being the most common site. Mesenchymal elements in PSA are capable of giving rise to various components that are usually seen in the tumor. Still, the presence of calcifications either from degenerations or the mesenchymal elements is rare. We are reporting a case of giant pleomorphic adenoma of the soft palate with dystrophic calcification and significant upper aerodigestive obstruction in a 49-year-old Nigerian. Surgical excision was done under general anesthesia via oral route.
