Salivary gland tumours are rare; comprising less than three percent of all neoplasms of head and neck region. Pleomorphic adenoma, also known as “benign mixed tumour” or “mixed tumour, salivary gland type”, is the most common salivary gland neoplasm and accounts for 60% of all benign salivary gland tumours. Although it occurs commonly in the major salivary glands, minor salivary glands and extra-salivary tissues may also get involved. Palate is the most commonly affected intraoral site followed by lips and buccal mucosa. Pleomorphic adenoma may occur at any age, but mainly affects patients in fourth, fifth and sixth decades of life. These tumours are usually painless, well-delineated and covered with normal mucous membrane, but mucosal ulcerations may occur. The potential risk of the tumour becoming malignant is about six percent. This report presents a case of Pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary glands in a 55 years old female accompanied with the classical clinical, radiographic and histological findings.
