At Alpha Surgical Group, we specialize in diagnosing and treating pleomorphic adenoma, a benign mixed tumor of the salivary glands commonly found in the USA. We offer premium surgical services including fine needle aspiration (FNA), imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRI), and precisely executed parotidectomy or submandibular gland excision. Patients benefit from advanced facial nerve monitoring and minimally invasive techniques tailored for pleomorphic adenoma management.
Pleomorphic adenoma—also described as a benign salivary gland tumor or mixed tumor—is the most common non cancerous salivary gland growth in the United States. Most arise in the parotid gland (≈85 %), followed by submandibular and minor glands. These tumors typically present as slow growing, painless, firm, mobile lumps without facial pain.
Diagnosis involves physical exam, imaging, and biopsy. FNA or core needle biopsy usually confirms whether the tumor is benign. Treatment for pleomorphic adenoma in the USA favors complete surgical excision—such as superficial or total parotidectomy—with facial nerve preservation to minimize complications like facial weakness or Frey’s syndrome. Enucleation is now avoided due to high recurrence risk.
Over time, untreated tumors carry a small risk of malignant transformation (about 1.5 % in first five years, rising up to 9.5 % after 15 years). Recurrence rates are low (<5 %) after complete excision, but incomplete removal can lead to regrowth.
