Insights

This study details the first reported case of spontaneous infarction in an infratemporal fossa pleomorphic adenoma. Imaging like CT and MRI aids in differentiating it from a parapharyngeal abscess, with surgery being the recommended treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Pleomorphic adenoma is a common salivary gland neoplasm.
  • Infratemporal fossa tumors can present with complex symptoms.
  • Spontaneous infarction in pleomorphic adenoma is rare.

Abnormal Proliferation

Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...
