Ectopic Pleomorphic Adenoma of Buccal Space: Case Report With Review of Literature

Abstract

Introduction: Salivary gland neoplasms are rare, accounting for 3% to 5% of all head and neck tumours. Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign neoplasm, mainly affecting the major salivary glands; however, its origin from minor salivary glands such as cheek mucosa is sporadic and rarely encountered. Through this clinical report, we share and discuss our experience about this rare entity and highlight the cases, which have been reported in literature until date.
