Volumetric Growth Rate of Recurrent Pleomorphic Adenoma.

CONCLUSIONS: The median growth rate for enlarging tumors is estimated at 10.2% per year. Due to variability, tumor growth rate should be estimated on an individual patient basis. For slow-growing tumors, physicians may weigh the risk of this slow growth with the morbidity of reoperation.
