Abstract

The most typical salivary gland tumour is a benign mixed tumour known as a pleomorphic adenoma. These tumours affect the parotid gland 90% of the time and the smaller salivary glands 10% of the time. The palate, lips, and cheek are the most typical sites for pleomorphic adenoma of the minor salivary glands. A 13-year-old child was reported to the OPD with the main symptom of swelling in the upper left cheek area that had persisted for two years. The mass was excised as part of the treatment using a wide local excision and then sent for biopsy. Pleomorphic adenomas were the final determination of the diagnosis. There were no recurrences after a three-month follow-up time frame. As a result, pleomorphic adenoma ought to be regarded as the differential analysis of cheek swellings in youths.
