CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW: JUVENILE PLEOMORPHIC ADENOMA OF THE CHEEK

Аннотация

Juvenile pleomorphic adenoma (JPA) of the cheek is a rare and intriguing condition, characterized by the presence of a benign, mixed tumor in the salivary glands of children and adolescents. This case report presents a unique instance of JPA located in the cheek, highlighting its clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies. The patient, a [age] year-old [gender], presented with a gradually enlarging, painless mass in the cheek area, which prompted further investigation. Imaging studies and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of JPA. In addition to the case report, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to analyze the current understanding of juvenile pleomorphic adenomas. This review encompasses the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnostic approaches, and treatment modalities associated with JPA. Key findings from the literature emphasize the rarity of JPA, its typically benign nature, and the importance of distinguishing it from other salivary gland tumors and lesions. The case report and literature review underscore the significance of early diagnosis and appropriate surgical management in ensuring favorable outcomes. The review also identifies gaps in current knowledge and suggests areas for future research to better understand the pathogenesis and optimal treatment strategies for juvenile pleomorphic adenoma. This report aims to contribute to the existing body of knowledge and provide valuable insights for clinicians encountering similar cases in their practice.
