Abstract

  Bilateral pleomorphic adenomas of parotid gland are extremely rare and are reported in 37 cases till date. Its rarity contributes to its poorly understood etiology, pathogenesis and behaviour. Diagnosis based on imaging and microscopic examination helps in early diagnosis. Surgical excision is the gold standard treatment of pleomorphic adenoma (PA) preserving the facial nerve. We present a rare case of bilateral metachronous PA of parotid gland in a 65-year-old woman.
