What is Polymorphous Low-Grade Adenocarcinoma?

Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is a rare type of cancer that affects the salivary glands. It is a slow-growing tumor that is usually found in the parotid gland, which is located in the cheek area near the ear. PLGA is considered a low-grade cancer, meaning it is unlikely to spread to other parts of the body. Treatment typically involves surgery to remove the tumor, and in some cases, radiation therapy may be recommended.
