Abstract

A case of malignant suspected pleomorphic adenoma in a 13-year-old girl is presented. The painless tumor in her left palate had gradually progressed. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and radionuclide imaging revealed the possibility of malignant tumor, because they pointed out aggressive bone absorption of the maxilla. In addition, the cytodiagnosis was class III. The biopsy was carefully made to avoid dissemination. Since it proved benign pleomorphic adenoma, the tumor was completely removed. The underlined osseous surface was cauterized with Carnoy's solution and laser to reduce the recurrence.
