Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma is one of the most common salivary gland tumors. Its incidence is the highest of all tumors occurring in the parotid gland. We encountered a case of pleomorphic adenoma in the left sublingual gland.
The patient, a 37-year-old female, complained of a painless swelling of the oral floor. Histopathological examination of the biopsy specimen revealed pleomorphic adenoma.
The lesion was surgically excised under general anesthesia. The postoperative course was uneventful with no recurrence after six years.
