Carcinoma in pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland with special reference to postoperative facial palsy: Report of a case

A 33-year old woman with carcinoma in pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland was reported. Carcinoma in pleomorphic adenoma is relatively rare. Our case was treated with surgical resection, postoperative irradiation (50Gy) and 5-fluorouracil administration (2, 500mg).Facial palsy following this operation was treated with nerve repairing and acupuncture. Recovery was enough to retain face symmetry at rest. Postoperative course was uneventful during the past four and A half years
