What is Vascular Leiomyoma: A Rare Case Report In The Buccal Mucosa about?
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign neoplasm of salivary glands, representing about 33% to 43% of tumors of the minor salivary gland. The palate is the most frequent intraoral site followed by the upper lip and the buccal mucosa. This report describes the development of pleomorphic adenoma in the infratemporal space in a 72-year-old woman. The lesion presented as a submucosal nodule, palpable deep in the left buccal mucosa. The computed tomography revealed a lobed hypodense formation partially obliterating the fat planes between the masseter and buccinator muscles. Surgical excision of the lesion was performed with histopathologic report of pleomorphic adenoma, and the patient is being followed up for 5 months with no signs of recurrence. It is important to note the unusual location and the importance of investigation and diagnostic elucidation for the correct therapeutic approach.
