Abstract:
Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) typically presents as a benign slow growing, painless
neoplasm of the parotid gland. PA arising from the submandibular gland in the paediatric
age group is rare. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. A case of PA in an 8-yearold
Malay girl is presented. Clinically she presented with a painless right submandibular
mass measuring 2x2cm. A diagnosis of Pleomorphic adenoma was made on Fine Needle
Aspiration Cytology (FNAC). She underwent submandibulectomy uneventfully.
Postoperatively after two years follow up, she is asymptomatic.
