RESUMEN
Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign mixed salivary gland tumor. We describe here a peculiar case of a 72-year-old woman with a PA of the palate resected with palatal approach combined with Le Fort I osteotomy, adding to the currently limited scientific literature on intraoral approach for removal of extensive tumors of the midface. The Le Fort I osteotomy approach allows direct visualization of the tumor and ensures a wide excision, increasing safety and minimizing the possibility of recurrence.
