Pleomorphic adenoma of lateral wall of nose – a rare presentation.

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma arising in lateral wall of nose. Pleomorphic adenoma arises mainly in the major salivary glands (65%), especially in the parotid and, less frequently, in accessory salivary glands (35%). Rare cases have been reported in the lip, the hard and soft palate, the lacrimal gland, and the external auditory canal. It is extremely rare to find these in the respiratory tract. The incidence is even lower in the upper respiratory tract, such as the nasal cavity, maxillary sinus and nasopharynx
