Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor of the salivary glands. Pleomorphic adenoma mainly occurs in the major salivary glands and less in the minor salivary gland. If pleomorphic adenoma occurs in the minor salivary glands, the most commonly found site is the palate. In addition, it can be developed from lip/cheek, tongue, nasal cavity, larynx and the nasopharynx. Pleomorphic adenoma rarely occurs in the nasopharynx, especially torus tubarius. We present a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma originating from torus tubarius in the nasopharyngeal cavity treated successfully via transnasal endoscopic resection.
