Abstract
We present a rare case of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) secondary to a deep lobe parotid pleomorphic adenoma and discuss its management, including the need for a thorough examination and multidisciplinary approach. Only a few cases of pleomorphic adenoma of the deep lobe of the parotid gland causing OSA have been reported. Our case is not only extremely rare but also highlights that key diagnoses maybe missed if a thorough assessment is not performed.Entities:
