It is much less common in the minor salivary glands of the oral cavity, and it rarely occurs in others sites in the head and neck (intraosseous, lacrimal gland, chest). A 51-year-old woman was referred to our department complaining of painless swelling of the left maxillary vestibular sulcus, which had been felt pain with the pressure. CT scan revealed a well defined expansile mass arising from pterygoid plates, infratemporal space to palatinal bone and arcus zygoma. Transoral biopsy specimen showed pleomorphic adenoma. Patient was treated by surgical excision. Follow up goes on in postoperative period. Our study's aim is to present the pleomorophic adenoma's case which is extended up large propotion in an unusual location. Our case is evaluated by in terms of diagnose and treatment result. Furthermore in the light of literature reviews we discuss the pleomorphic adenoma's incidence, location, and recurrence rates. We believe that our presentation is very interesting in point of view rare location and expansive mass.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMaxillaPleomorphic AdenomaSalivary GlandArticle3134372-s2.0-80051591732Q3
