Popis:	Introduction: Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign salivary gland tumor, accounting for up to 60% of all tumors of the salivary gland. . It has a slow but progressive growth pattern and if untreated can become greatly enlarged in size. Material and Method: We present a clinical case of a 29-year-old female with diagnosed pleomorphic adenoma which was with size 12 centimeters. The formation occupied the right parapharyngeal space. Results: After the histological diagnosis was set, the patient underwent surgical intervention – tumor total excision with excellent result. We achieved full recovery of the patient with no recurrences.
