PEREZ, Ligia; YORIS, Orlando; MOLINA, Cesar  and  CASTRO, Bayron. Adenoma pleomorfo benigno contralateral en glandulas parotida y submandibular: Reporte de un caso. Acta odontol. venez [online]. 2007, vol.45, n.1, pp.83-86. ISSN 0001-6365.

A 36 years old, female, goes for consultation at the Oncology service, University Hospital of Maracaibo, due to swelling on her right infraauricular region and her left submandibular area. The tomography showed different sizes, nodular lesions on the lateral neck areas, extending to parotideal and submandibular spaces. After a surgical procedure and microscopic examination, the final diagnosis of Benign Pleomorphic Adenoma was given for both lesions. A bibliographic search was done, especially to determine, synchronous, contralateral, bilateral cases of this entity. To our knowledge, this is the first case in Venezuela and the second on the world with these features.

Keywords : Salivary gland; benign pleomorphic adenoma; bilateral; contralateral.
