Abstract:
Pleomorphic adenomas are the most common benign salivary gland neoplasms. However, they are rarely present in the minor salivary glands, neck, ear, mediastinum, external nose and nasal cavity. This case report describes a rare and unusual lesion found in a 48-year-old man, who, diagnosed as pleomorphic adenoma of the minor salivary glands in the inferior nasal turbinate, was treated with endoscopic removal.
