Abstract: 

Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor which commonly affects major salivary glands and rarely affects minor salivary glands.PA accounts for 53-77% of parotid tumors, 44-68% of submandibular gland tumors, and 33-43% of minor salivary gland tumors. We are presenting a case of pleomorphic adenoma of hard palate in a 45 years old male patient with complaint of pain less swelling in the mid-palatal region with a multinodular appearance of more than 15years of duration. Despite the long standing history of the lesion there was no involvement of the bone, no lymphadenopathy, no malignant transformation though always has to be taken care of as malignancy is seen more commonly in minor salivary glands and the lesion was managed with wide surgical excision.
