Huge sub-mandibular gland tumour.

Salivary gland neoplasms are a diverse group of tumours and appropriate treatment depends on adequate understanding of the pathophysiologic behaviour of each tumour type. most (95%) salivary glands occur in adults. benign tumours are slow growing tumours and attain a considerable size before presenting to surgeon. we report a case of huge tumour of left submandibular gland that presented in our surgical outpatient department,and had developed over last twenty years. it was diagnosed as a benign mixed tumour of salivary gland and was successfully excised. histopathology confirmed it to be a benign pleomorphic adenoma.
