A RARE CASE REPORT OF PLEOMORPHIC ADENOMA ARISING FROM MINOR SALIVARY GLAND.

Salivary gland tumors account for less than three percent of the head and neck tumors. Among all salivary gland tumors, pleomorphic adenoma is the most frequently encountered lesion, accounting for approximately 60% of all salivary gland neoplasms. Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign neoplasm of the salivary glands but it is the rare tumor involving minor salivary glands. Here we present a rare case report of buccal mucosa swelling which was found to be pleomorphic adenoma arising from the minor salivary glands in the buccal mucosa.
