Abstract
The neoplasms of the salivary glands account about 2% of head and neck tumours and among them, the Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common form. It is benign epithelial lesion of salivary gland origin, showing histopathological variation. The pleomorphic adenoma shows female predilection. The common sites for the intraoral Pleomorphic Adenoma are palate, buccal mucosa and lips. The article presents a case of Pleomorphic Adenoma of minor salivary gland of palate, which was treated successfully by surgical excision.
