Abstract
Salivary gland tumors are rare tumors in the head and neck region and Pleomorphic Adenoma (PA) is the commonest salivary gland tumor. It is a benign tumor usually affecting parotid, submandibular or minor salivary glands. In minor salivary glands, the palate and lip are the commonest sites.
