| Summary: | Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) typically presents as a benign slow growing, painless
neoplasm of the parotid gland. PA arising from the submandibular gland in the paediatric
age group is rare. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. A case of PA in an 8-yearold
Malay girl is presented. Clinically she presented with a painless right submandibular

Aspiration Cytology (FNAC). She underwent submandibulectomy uneventfully.
Postoperatively after two years follow up, she is asymptomatic |
