A case of pleomorphic adenoma which recurred multinodularly in the subcutaneous tissue of the cervical region

A case of pleomorphic adenoma which recurred multinodularly in the subcutaneous tissue of the cervical region in a 32-year-old male was reported. The cause of recurrence was guessed to be remnance and dissemination of the tumor cells during the former operation. Tumor removal was performed like an upper neck dissection. Therefore, the skin and platysma from upper neck to lower cheek, a part of digastric muscle, submandibular gland and other tissues in submandibular triangle were resected with tumors. And after we performed the operation, 56, 000mg of UFT® was prescribed to the patient as adjuvant therapy. 4 years and 4 months have passed since the radical operation. There have been no disturbances to him, and there have been no symptoms of side effect and recurrence.
