Giant Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Hard Palate in a 17-Year-Old Afghan Male.

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a benign salivary gland tumor. It most commonly affects the major salivary glands, especially the parotid gland. PA is more common in women and usually manifests in the fourth and fifth decades of life. Clinically, it manifests as a well-defined, painless swelling with intact mucosa. Here, we report a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma in a 17-year-old Afghan male, located on the hard palate, which was completely enucleated without postoperative complications. At a three-month telephonic follow-up, no recurrence or adverse findings were reported.
