Abstract

Salivary gland tumours are rare and the most confusing tumours, which comprise <3% of all neoplasia of head and neck region. Pleomorphic adenoma accounts for 60–80% of benign tumours of salivary glands and present as a solitary unilateral, firm and mobile, painless, slow-growing mass. Surgical management involves surgical resection by superficial or total parotidectomy.
