Abstract :

It is a well known fact that Pleomorphic Adenoma is the commonest type of salivary gland tumour. Though the incidence of giant tumours of salivary gland are not that common but literature describes some really large salivary gland tumours and of which the largest are those of the Parotid. This case report describes one such gigantic parotid gland tumour. This case draws our attention to the fact that social acceptance along with possibility of malignant transformation form an indication for the removal of the tumour.
