Recurrence of Parotid Pleomorphic Adenoma

This is a case of recurrent pleomorphic adenoma of the left parotid gland, presenting with over 30 tumor implantations and extension into the cervical and parapharyngeal spaces. Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign salivary gland tumor. When properly excised, recurrence is rare. However, if the tumor capsule is breached during surgery, cellular spillage can lead to multiple local implantations—greatly complicating future surgical management. These implants are often difficult to fully remove without risking facial nerve damage. Moreover, repeated recurrence increases the risk of malignant transformation into carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma. This case underscores the importance of meticulous surgical technique and close long-term monitoring in the management of parotid gland tumors.
