Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign salivary gland tumor that represents less than 5% of benign tumors in childhood. World literature suggests salivary gland tumors account for less than 3% of the head and neck tumors and benign Pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary glands arising de novo is very rare. Here we report a case of Pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary glands occurring on the palate of 12-year-old female.Salivary glands may present with a diverse range of lesions presenting a challenge to even the most experienced clinician and pathologist. Resection with surrounding dispensable normal tissues is the key to successful treatment of such tumors.
