Abstract :

Background: Pleomorphic adenoma accounts for the common benign salivary gland neoplasm characterised by neoplastic proliferation of parenchymatous glandular cells along with myoepithelial components. It predominantly affects the superficial lobe of the parotid gland and is most prevalent among the females of 3rd to 5th decade. Case Details: The paper reports a case of pleomorphic adenoma of left parotid gland in a 19 yrs old male who underwent superficial parotidectomy along with excision of the tumour. Conclusion: Pleomorphic adenoma can show variable histomorphological features. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention coupled with radiographs and histological report is advocated taking into account to preserve the facial nerve anches
