case_images: The final specimen size when measured was 13 cm x 15 cm x 8 cm and the tumor weighed in at 420 g [Figures 3 and 4] making it the largest pleomorphic adenoma ever removed in toto in the literature and ensues a debate regarding minimal invasive approach with paramedian mandibulotomy as a backup for such tumors.
