Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common tumor associated with the salivary gland. These tumors are derived from a mixture of ductal and myoepithelial elements and rarely develop in the jawbones. Regardless of the site of origin, pleomorphic adenoma presents as a painless, firm, and slow-growing mass, which is often misdiagnosed as an odontogenic cyst when located in the tooth-bearing areas of the jaws.
