Case Report of a Pleomorphic Adenoma of Ear Lobule

Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor which affects both major and minor salivary glands. The parotid gland is affected most of the time. Among the minor salivary glands, the palate is the most affected site, followed by lips, cheeks, gingiva, floor of the mouth, and tongue. PA of the auricle is very rare and even if they do so, they mostly arise from the external auditory canal. In this report, we present a case of PA of the ear lobule.
