Abstract
Suprasellar salivary gland-Like pleomorphic adenoma is not a common disease
and seldom reported so far. We are reporting a case of a 23-year-old man with
recurrent suprasellar salivary gland-like pleomorphic adenoma, who underwent
an operation of subtotal, subfrontal resection under the wrong pathology
diagnosis of benign teratoma in another hospital 4-year-ago. Four years later,
he was admitted to our hospital for additional visual loss of the right eye (left,
1.0; right, 0.4) resulting from tumor regrowth. Magnetic resonance imaging
revealed that suprasellar extension and compressed optic chiasm resulted in
visual disturbance of the patient. The tumor was totally excised and histological
examination evidenced the pathological features of intrasellar salivary gland-like
pleomorphic adenoma. The patient did not receive any further treatment and he
is free from tumor recurrence for 30 months after the operation. From this point
of view, clinical prognosis of intrasellar salivary gland-like pleomorphic adenoma
was good after total surgical resection.
