Abstract

This case report describes a 55 year-old gentleman who had been living with an extremely large (1.2 kg) pleomorphic adenoma for 24 years-despite its significant size, weight and appearance. A modified surgical incision and approach were required to remove the tumour, to avoid damaging the facial nerve and its branches.
