Abstract :

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common type of all salivary gland tumours. Though uncommon, cases of giant pleomorphic adenomas have been described in the medical literature, the majority involving the parotid gland. The present case is an unusual giant pleomorphic adenoma arising in the right parotid gland with surface ulceration. The patient underwent surgical resection of the giant tumour. Whenever possible, early tumour excision is ideal despite the relatively low risk of malignant transformation.
