Abstract
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor of the salivary glands, primarily affecting the parotid gland in 80% of cases. However, rarer localizations, such as the parapharyngeal space, can occur. We report the case of a 21-year-old woman with a pleomorphic adenoma of the parapharyngeal space. The tumor was completely excised, and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis. No signs of recurrence were observed after a 6-month follow-up. This case highlights the importance of diagnosis and surgical management in atypical presentations of this tumor.
