PLGA is considered as a tumour with low neoplastic behavior and varied cytological architecture. PLGA amounts to 12.5% of all salivary gland tumours and 22% of those that are malignant. The accurate diagnosis is challenging due to its diverse clinical and histopathological presentation, but it's necessary for accurate management. In this case report, polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma of the upper labial mucosa has been presented.
