Abstract:
Abstract—Pleomorphic adenoma of salivary gland is rare in the age group of 80-89 years and extremely rare in age 90 years and above. We report a case of a 90 years old female who presented with slow growing mass on left parotid region for 6 years. The Parotid swelling is ovoid in shape, 10 cm x 7 cm in left parotid region, cystic anteriorly and firm posteriorly and fixed to left sternocleidomastoid muscle. Fine needle aspiration cytology study showed scattered cyst macrophages and a few lymphocytes in a proteinaceous background, feature suggestive of benign cystic lesion of parotid gland. Contrast enhanced CT scan of neck showed large thick wall complex cystic lesion measuring 7cm x 4.9 cm x 6.3 cm (APxRLxSI) of left parotid gland with enhancing internal septation infiltration into left sternocleidomastoid muscle, suspecting neoplastic lesion. Superficial parotidectomy under general anesthesia was done with preservation of facial nerve and its branches. Retrograde dissection was done due to large size of tu
