Abstract：
Of all the head and neck tumors, salivary gland tumors account to 3%. Pleomorphic adenomas are one of the most common benign tumors arising from major salivary glands, although it could also develop from minor salivary glands situated at accessory sites like nasal cavity, pharynx, parapharyngeal space, lacrimal glands etc. Tumors of infratemporal fossa are quite unusual, mainly because of its hidden location in retromaxillary region. We report an unusual case of 65 years old male presenting with complaint of progressive left cheek swelling for 4 years. FNAC revealed pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary gland tumor. Intraoperatively a giant lobulated tumor was seen occupying almost whole space of infratemporal fossa, which was removed in-toto via open approach. Patient was kept on regular follow up with no evidence of recurrence reported till date.
摘要：
在所有的头颈部肿瘤中,唾液腺肿瘤占3%。多形性腺瘤是由主要唾液腺引起的最常见的良性肿瘤之一。尽管它也可以从位于鼻腔等附属部位的小唾液腺发展而来，咽部,咽旁间隙,泪腺等.颞下窝肿瘤很不寻常,主要是因为它隐藏在上颌后区域。我们报告了一例65岁男性的罕见病例，表现为进行性左脸颊肿胀4年。FNAC提示涎腺小肿瘤多形性腺瘤。术中发现巨大的小叶肿瘤几乎占据了颞下窝的整个空间，它是通过开放式方法在体内移除的。患者定期随访，至今未报告复发迹象。
