Salivary gland tumors compromises <3% of the head and neck tumors. Mixed tumor (pleomorphic adenoma) of the salivary gland is a benign tumor arising mainly in the major salivary glands (65%), especially in the parotid and, less frequently, in accessory salivary glands (35%). A small minority (8%) occurs in the oral cavity, neck and nasal cavity. Most common site for minor salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma is palate, though it can also occur in the upper lip, cheek, floor of the mouth, larynx and trachea.Here we report series of 2 cases of pleomorphic adenoma of submandibular gland and floor of mouth respectively. Both are less frequent sites for this pathology.
