Abstract

Salivary gland neoplasms account for 2-3 % of all neoplasms occurring in the head and neck region. Pleomorphic adenoma is a mixed benign neoplasm mainly affecting the major salivary gland of which parotid is the most common. It may also affect the minor salivary glands and present as an intraoral mass over the palate or lip. We hereby report a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the hard palate. An effort has also been put into reviewing the existing literature on this entity.
