Intra-mandibular salivary monomorphic adenoma
Summary
Monomorphic adenoma, a salivary gland tumor, rarely occurs within the mandible. This report details a second intra-mandibular monomorphic adenoma case, highlighting its recurrent nature.
Area of Science:
- Oral pathology
- Oncology
- Head and neck surgery
Background:
- Monomorphic adenomas are benign salivary gland neoplasms.
- These tumors typically affect major and minor salivary glands.
- Intra-mandibular location is exceptionally rare for monomorphic adenomas.
Observation:
- This study presents a second documented case of intra-mandibular monomorphic adenoma.
- The observed tumor exhibited recurrent behavior following initial treatment.
Findings:
- The rarity of intra-mandibular monomorphic adenoma is confirmed.
- Recurrence is a significant characteristic of this specific tumor location.
Implications:
- Increased awareness of this rare entity is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
- Understanding the recurrent potential informs long-term patient management strategies.
- Further research may elucidate unique biological behaviors of intra-mandibular salivary gland tumors.
