Objective: To report a case of pleomorphic adenoma that was surgically removed and to describe the surgical technique available to remove this lesion. Case Report: A male patient, caucasian, 46 years old, with a 4-year history of pleomorphic adenoma. He mentioned that he went to other services for treatment, but without success. He came at our service for treatment with tumoral excision. Local anesthesia was performed with mepivacaine with a vasoconstrictor and tumoral excision was performed with the overlying mucosa and the periosteal region to avoid recurrence. The patient has been under postoperative follow-up for two years without recurrence. Conclusion: Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor and presents as a submucosal mass of slow growth. The ideal treatment for the Pleomorphic Adenoma tumor is the total excision of the lesion with the removal of the mucosa covering the region to avoid recurrence.
