[Pleomorphic adenoma of the nasal septum]. / Adenoma pleomorfo del setto nasale.

ABSTRACT

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most frequent form of tumor in the major and minor salivary glands. It can occasionally appear in other sites corresponding to areas with ectopic salivary tissue. A case is presented of pleomorphic adenoma of the nasal septum recently observed by the authors. Complete removal of the tumor lesion, with the entire support base, careful histopathological evaluation, a battery of immunohistochemical tests and a long-term follow-up constitute the correct approach to this pathology.
