BRAVO-FLOREZ, Diego Javier; RUIZ-BENITES, Andrés Felipe e GARCIA RAMIREZ, Carlos Alberto. Vulvar Pleomorphic Adenoma. Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2018, vol.44, n.4, pp. 1-8. ISSN 1561-3062.
Pleomorphic Adenoma is the most prevalent benign tumor among the major salivary glands; nevertheless, this is not the exclusive anatomic localization. Myoepithelial cells cover the basal membrane of the terminal portions of different exocrine glandular tissues including the salivary glands, lacrimal glands, mammary tissue and sweat glands. Consequently, it is not rare that this kind tumor originate in tissues different from the salivary glands. The vulvar pleomorphic adenoma is an uncommon finding, with few reported cases in literature. Actuality this the first case reported in Colombia and Latin America.
