Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma is a circumscribed tumor characterized microscopically by its pleomorphic or mixed appearance, and its clearly recognizable tissue intermingled with areas of mucoid, myxoid, or chondroid appearance. Plemorphic adenoma, the most common tumor of the salivary glands, is now generally accepted as epithelial and benign, and therefore an adenoma. Pleomorphic adenoma occurs about 10 times more often in the parotid gland than in the submandibular gland, and is rare in the sublingual gland of the major salivary gland. And it occurs most often in the parotid and lip, but is very rare in the buccal mucosa of the minor salivary gland. The reported age of occurrence for pleomorphic adenoma ranges from 5 to 84 years, with a peak incidence during the third decade. We experienced a case of pleomorphic adenoma which occurring in buccal mucosa of 13-year-old boy. And so both the site of origin and age of occurrence make this case unusual. This lesion was treated with surgical excision. No specific change has seen in 1 year postoperative follow-up.

다형성 선종은 남성보다는 여성에게서 호발하고 발생연령은 40-60대의 중년에서 주로 발생하며 발생부위로는 소타액선의 경우 구개부와 상하순부에서 많이 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자는 다형성 선종이 13세의 소아에서 그리고 협부에서 발생한 임상적으로 매우 드문 경우를 경험하였고, 외과적 절제술로 잘 치유되었으며, 소아의 협부에서 발생할 수 있는 여러 다른 종양과의 감별진단이 중요하리라 사료되어 이에 보고하는 바이다.
