Abstract :
pleomorphic adenoma(mixed tumor) is most common in parotid followed by submandibular gland. It exhibits bimodal population of cells with varied stroma. We report a case of 30 years old female presented with left submandibular gland swelling. On examination 5x4 cms, firm swelling which was ballotable on bidigital palpation was seen. Ultrasound showed well defined hypoechoic vascularised lesion in the left submandibular triangle. FNAC showed features of pleomorphic adenoma. The lesion was excised and post operative period was uneventful. Histopathology showed epithelial and myoepithelial cells distributed in a chrondomyxoid stroma without any vascular and capsular invasion. In conclusion mixed tumor of salivary glands should be excised without any delay as the chances of malignant transformation to carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma was there.
