Subcutaneous pleomorphic adenomas in two different areas of the face

Abstract

A 41-year-old woman developed two subcutaneous pleomorphic adenomas on her face. Pleomorphic adenoma usually arises as a benign tumour of a major salivary gland and often develops multifocally within the gland. These two pleomorphic adenomas originated in the subcutaneous layer of the face, also multifocally. They were excised, she made a good recovery, and she had no signs of recurrence a year later.
