Abstract

Abstract : Summary: We experienced a rare case of sclerosing polycystic adenosis (SPA) arising in a parotid gland. A 33-year-old man who underwent unspecified surgery for a lesion in the left parotid gland 23 years ago presented with a lesion on the same site. Computed tomography scan revealed an encapsulated 3 × 2 cm lesion. Intraoperative findings showed that the tumor was embedded deep in the parotid gland. Marginal tumor excision was performed to preserve the facial nerve. Histopathological and immunohistochemical findings led to the final diagnosis of SPA. The surgery was not associated with any other complications. To date, 28 months after surgery, recurrence has not been observed. The treatment protocol of SPA has not yet been established. To make plastic surgeons familiar with this disease, we describe this case, which was successfully treated without any complications.
