Abstrakt:	Diagnosing a soft tissue tumor in the head and neck region can be challenging due to its complex anatomy and diverse histological spectrum. This case report highlights the case of a woman who presented with a painless neck lump in the posterior triangle of the neck. Various pathological and imaging studies were suggestive of pleomorphic adenoma, which arises from the left prevertebral space. The patient underwent complete surgical excision via the transcervical approach. Pleomorphic adenoma in the posterior triangle of the neck is extremely rare and causes a diagnostic dilemma in managing soft tissue tumors of the neck.
