Abstract
Among head and neck tumors, the occurrence rate of salivary gland tumors is about 3%, of which about 10–15% are minor salivary gland tumors, so minor salivary gland tumors are relatively rare.
We report a case of pleomorphic adenoma in the buccal region. A 60-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of tumor formation in his cheek. Local findings showed an elastic firm and movable mass at his buccal mucosa.
A clinical diagnosis of benign tumor with pleomorphic adenoma was made based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and fine-needle aspiration (FNA). We removed the mass through an intraoral approach, and the pathological diagnosis was a pleomorphic adenoma. There has been no evidence of recurrence since the operation.
