Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of the major salivary glands. It can also Occur in the minor salivary glands, mainly in the oral cavity, and in other sites in the head and neck region. We present a very rare case of PA in the pterygopalatine fossa. Surgical resection of the tumor was performed via the transmaxillary approach. The patient has experienced neither surgical complications nor recurrence in the past 3 years. This case suggests that a localized benign tumor in the pterygopalatine fossa can be removed safely and efficaciously via a transmaxillary approach.
多形性腺瘤（PA）是大唾液腺最常见的良性肿瘤。它也可发生于小唾液腺，主要在口腔，以及头颈部的其他部位。我们报告一例翼腭窝多形性腺瘤极为罕见的病例。通过经上颌入路对肿瘤进行了手术切除。该患者在过去3年中既未出现手术并发症，也未复发。该病例表明，翼腭窝的局限性良性肿瘤可通过经上颌入路安全有效地切除。
