The pleomorphic adenoma or mixed tumor is a heterogeneous benign tumor of salivary glands. The parotid gland is its principal localisation, it is rare in accessory salivary glands, with a preferential localisation on the oral mucosa (palate, cheeks and lips). We present a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma of the inner side of the left cheek. This is a 34-year-old patient who presents a mass on the inner left cheek that has been developing for 2 years, painless, without signs of inflammation or fistulization at the level of the oral mucosa and of the opposite skin, examination of the parotid region and peripheral lymph node areas was normal. The patient underwent an ultrasonography (USG) which revealed the presence of a left cheek submucosal mass with a polylobed tissue appearance. A surgical resection was performed and the pathological examination was in favor of pleomorphic adenoma.
