Abstract

Pleomorphic adenomas are benign tumour of the salivary glands that mostly affect the parotid gland. The tumor's "pleomorphic" form can be explained by its epithelial and connective tissue origins. Females between the ages of 30 and 50 are more likely to get the tumour. The tumour usually presents as asymptomatic swelling that progresses slowly. The majority of treatment is surgical removal of the tumour mass, with special attention paid to preserving the facial nerve. This is a case report of a 42-year-old female patient who had a pleomorphic adenoma of the submandibular gland. On the right side of the face, the patient had a slowly growing asymptomatic swelling. Pleomorphic adenoma is the commonest salivary gland tumor characterized by  diverse  histomorphological  features.  Early diagnosis and treatment plan entails thorough history taking, clinical examination, coupled with radiographic and histopathological findings.
