Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma of subcutis on the neck is a rare disease. It is considered to derive from sebaceous glands, sweat glands, or ectopic salivary glands. The objective of this study is to familiarize the clinician presentation and treatment of this disease. We reported the case of a 39-year-old woman who presented with an enlarging, a firm, painless mass on the neck for one year. Fine needle aspiration cytology of the lesion was reported as benign monomorphic adenoma. The mass was excised via an elliptical skin incision under general anesthesia. Histopathologic examination was reported as pleomorfik adenoma in subcutis. Here we presented this case due to rarity.
