ABSTRACT
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign neoplasm of parotid gland, generally presenting as slowly enlarging firm painless mass. The vast majority are 2-6 cm in size, when resected. We report a case of big water-melon sized parotid mass measuring 22 x 16 cm. It proved to be a pleomorphic adenoma. To the best of our efforts and literature search, this is the largest parotid mass ever resected in Pakistan. The mass was resected successfully without post-operative complications
