Abstract
- We report a very unusual presentation of simultaneous pleomorphic adenomas of 2 different locations, hard palate and parapharyngeal space. Patient age of presentation is rare because these tumors are seen in younger patients. We treated a 70-year-old woman with these 2 tumors, resecting both lesions with intraoral and cervical approaches. Pleomorphic adenomas are frequent lesions, but in the literature reviewed, we have not found articles reporting 2 simultaneous pleomorphic adenomas of these locations. Complete surgical resection is very important to avoid recurrences.
