Dr. AR. Anjanaa* and Dr. Hemalatha Ganapathy
ABSTRACT
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor of the major salivary glands with highest incidence in the parotid gland. They may also be seen arising from the minor salivary glands present in the upper aerodigestive tract. Other rare sites for the occurrence of pleomorphic adenoma are the larynx, pharynx, paranasal sinuses, nasal cavity and lacrimal glands. Here we report a case of intranasal pleomorphic adenoma arising from the nasal septum causing nasal obstruction which was clinically diagnosed as nasal mass and excision biopsy was done. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma.
