Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma provides as much as 40-70% of tumors in the minor salivary gland with the palate being the most frequent area engaged. Head and neck tumors in parapharyngeal space amount to less than 1%. We share a case of pleomorphic adenoma primarily arising in parapharyngeal space. This report highlights clinical features, pathology, radiological findings, and treatment of this tumor.
