Abstrakt:	The expression "pleomorphic adenoma" has been used synonymously with mixed cutaneous tumors and chondroid syringomas. It originates from eccrine or apocrine skin, salivary glands, and lacrimal glands. Histologically, it comprises an epithelial-lined glandular component embedded in the cartilaginous, myxomatous, or fibrous stroma. These lesions are usually misdiagnosed because they are extremely rare. It commonly affects middle-aged men and has a slow-growing nature. The usual manifestation is a firm nodular lesion in the periorbital region, particularly at eyelid margins. A unique presentation of this tumor was described in a young woman. The tumor presented as a small, static, nontender lump located at the junction of the superior margin of the left eyebrow and forehead. After a thorough clinical assessment, she underwent a complete surgical excision of the lesion. The most probable preoperative clinical impression at that time was that of a sebaceous cyst. However, histopathological examination revealed it to be a pleomorphic adenoma, which, to our knowledge, has never been reported in the literature at this specific anatomical site. Two years after the procedure, the patient's follow-up was uneventful, and revealed no recurrence of the lesion. Although its incidence is exceptionally low, it should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of cutaneous lesions in the head, neck, and trunk. Complete surgical excision for histopathological assessment is recommended to rule out malignancy and avoid the frequent issue of local recurrence in cases of benign tumors.
