Abstract
Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common salivary gland tumor, accounting for about 40–70% of all
major and minor salivary gland tumors. This tumor can occur also on other site including the upper lip cheek floor of
mouth larynx trachea bronchi. We present a case of 65-year-old man presented in out-patient department with history of
30 years painless pedunculated large multinodular swelling on left side of chest wall which is around 5-6 cm lateral to
the left breast. After routine investigation, chest X-ray and FNAC patient underwent surgery for surgical exicision of the
mass and excised biopsy sent for histopathological examination which showed the diagnosis as benign pleomorphic
adenoma. The postoperative period was uneventful. The patient was successfully discharge on day 10 and subjected to
follow up.
