Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of salivary glands. Approximately 80% of pleomorphic adenomas occur in the parotid gland, rest 10-20% in submandibular and minor salivary glands. Here, we present a confirmed case of pleomorphic adenoma of the submandibular gland.

Email: ahmad66zeeshan@gmail.com   On the basis of history and examination, tumour of right submandibular gland was suspected. Computerized tomography (CT) scan of neck was done to determine the extent of the lesion. Axial and coronal cut sections of CT scan showed evidence of a large lobulated, heterogeneously enhancing mass lesion involving the right submandibular gland (approx. 6.5cm× 5.4cm) [Figure-2a and 2b]. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was done. The smear showed high cellularity, arranged in cohesive clusters and sheets. Myoepithelial cells including plasmacytoid cells, basaloid cells, along with stromal fragments were seen, suggesting pleomorphic adenoma.   2026 Ibrahim Medical College. All rights reserved.
