Abstract:
A sixty-year-old male patient presented with complaints of an intraoral mass, dysphonia, dysphagia, and snoring. Physical examination revealed a mass of 4 x 4 cm extending from the hard palate to the oropharynx. Fine needle aspiration biopsy showed a benign epithelial lesion. The mass was removed through a transoral approach. Histopathologic diagnosis was pleomorphic adenoma. No recurrences or surgery-associated complications were observed during a follow-up period of a year.
