Abstract:
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most frequent form of tumor in the major and minor salivary glands. It can occasionally appear in other sites corresponding to areas with ectopic salivary tissue. A case is presented of pleomorphic adenoma of the nasal septum recently observed by the authors. Complete removal of the tumor lesion, with the entire support base, careful histopathological evaluation, a battery of immunohistochemical tests and a long-term follow-up constitute the correct approach to this pathology.
