ABSTRACT
Pleomorphic adenoma is most frequently seen in the major salivary glands. Pleomorphic adenoma in minor salivary gland is relatively rare and can be found in palate, lip, buccal mucosa, tongue, oropharynx, nasal cavity, paranasal sinus, parapharynx as well as in the nasopharynx. Pleomorphic adenoma of nasopharynx is very rare, and only a few cases were reported both in neonates (congenital type) and adults (acquired type). We report the adult case of nasopharyngeal pleomorphic adenoma (Eustachian tube origin) with a review of literature.
