| Abstract;A 38-year-old man presented with a recurrent pleomorphic adenoma in the parapharyngeal space invading the skull base 19 years after the first operation for a parotid gland tumor. Stereotactic radiotherapy was performed to control the tumor growth using a marginal dose of 8 Gy and maximum dose of 18 Gy with care taken to minimize the dose to nearby structures. The symptoms were reduced within a few months. Magnetic resonance imaging over 5 years showed that the tumor was controlled with no regrowth. Stereotactic radiotherapy is a therapeutic option for the treatment of pleomorphic adenomas. (author abst.) |
