Pleomorphic adenoma of buccal minor salivary gland: A case report

Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign salivary gland tumor that is frequently seen in the parotid gland. It is very rare in minor salivary glands. The case we present is a case of pleomorphic adenoma originating from the buccal minor salivary gland, which is very rare in this localization. Keywords: Pleomorphic adenoma; Minor salivary gland; Buccal; Salivary gland tumors.
