Pleomorphic adenoma

2025-01-09 19:22:03
There is a tumor just below the ear in the left jaw . On testing it came out to be pleomorphic adenoma. I want to know whether it is cancerous or not. It's from around 8 years. There is only a lump there . No other symptoms are observed. Not even a slight pain or swelling or any other condition. It's only and only a lump that is of medium size. I want to know whether it is cancerous or not and in what ways it can be cured Can it be cured without sugery?

Pleomorphic adenoma of parotid gland is not a cancer. Though not a cancer, it keeps growing over time slowly and makes it more challenging to remove later when , at risk of facial nerve palsy too  exists at later date due to growth of swelling Treatment is only by surgery Thank you.

Pleomorphic adenoma is not a cancerous condition. However, it may grow in size and cause weakness of half the face.  It is best to get it cured surgically at the earliest.
