Abstract: Only a small percentage of salivary gland neoplasms are pleomorphic adenomas, which are uncommon benign tumors of the submandibular gland.

Pleomorphic adenoma was diagnosed by imaging, clinical examination, and fine needle aspiration cytology. The patient's vitals structures were preserved during the full surgical resection of the tumor and submandibular gland. The surgical course was unremarkable, and the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology. In order to avoid recurrence and possible malignant transformation, this case emphasizes the significance of early detection and complete surgical removal of tumor with the gland
