Abstract:
Pleomorphic adenoma is most frequently seen in the major salivary glands, but can also be found in oral mucosa, hard and soft palate, temporal bone, hypophyseal duct, limbs, skin, inguinal region as well as in the nasal cavity. The majority of intranasal pleomorphic adenomas originate from the mucosa of nasal septum and lateral nasal wall. The treatment of choice is local but adequate excision. The authors experienced a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma that arose from the nasal vestibule: it was treated with local excision. We report the case with a review of literatures.
