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 branches
