Abstract EN
Objective.
To report a rare presentation of pleomorphic adenoma, at base tongue, excised surgically by a transoral midline glossotomy technique without mandibulotomy.
Case Report.
Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor of the salivary gland found rarely in the base of tongue.
Surgery is the definitive treatment for this tumor, and different approaches have been mentioned in the literature.
In our case we surgically excised the tumor by a transoral midline glossotomy technique without mandibulotomy where we combined the cosmetic advantage of transoral technique and the exposure advantage of a glossotomy technique.
Discussion.
We discuss the different approaches to oropharynx, their advantages and disadvantages.
Primary transoral approach provides better cosmesis but less exposure whereas median labiomandibuloglossotomy approach provides more exposure but is cosmetically unacceptable.
Conclusion.
A transoral midline glossotomy approach without mandibulotomy provides wide exposure with acceptable cosmesis.
