Abstract :

<p>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. </p>
