Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common tumor of the benign salivary gland neoplasm and the most common gland to be involved is the parotid gland. Its occurrence in the submandibular or the sublingual gland is uncommon. We present a case of a histologically proven pleomorphic adenoma involving the submandiblular gland.
