ABSTRACT

Pleomorphic adenoma is mixed and usually benign tumor originating salivary glands. The most common salivary gland tumor is pleomorphic adenoma. The most common localization of pleomorphic adenoma is parotid gland. Although it is found in major salivary gland, pleomorphic adenoma may be found paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity rarely. A 74-year-old female presented with a 3-month history of right-sided nasal obstruction was presented. Although it is infrequently, the possibility of pleomorphic adenoma should be kept in mind while assessing well-defined lobular intranasal lesions. (JAREM 2015; 5: 25-7)
