Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign neoplasia of the salivary glands and affects mostly the parotid gland, less frequently the minor salivary glands. Minor salivary gland tumors have a higher risk of malignancy compared to tumors of the major salivary glands, so appropriate diagnostic evaluation should be prompt. In this case report, we present a case of an extensive pleomorphic adenoma of soft palate in an adult patient. After preoperative investigation using Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) and imaging tests, the patient was successfully treated by surgical resection under general anesthesia. There was no recurrence seen after a follow-up period of 1 year.
