Summary

A 60-year-old woman had a previous history of resected pleomorphic adenoma in the left parotid gland in another hospital, 13 years before. She presented with a nodule again in the same location, 2 cm large, fixed, and firm in consistency. The patient was admitted to our hospital with the clinical suspicion of recurring pleomorphic adenoma. The lesion was removed.
