The pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor of the minor salivary glands and is comprised of epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. The majority of the salivary gland tumors occur in the second decade of life with a slight predilection for females. Clinically it presents as a firm or rubbery submucosal mass without ulceration or surrounding inflammation. Diagnosis is established on the clinical examination and histopathology, supplemented with plane radiographs, computerized tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging when necessary. Here, we report a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the hard palate in a 21-year-old female patient with a painless swelling in the left palatal region of nine months duration.
