About 70-80% of these neoplasms occur in the major salivary glands, with the parotid gland being the most commonly affected site.

They raise prognostic issues because of the risk of degeneration. We present a case of a giant pleomorphic adenoma involving the parotid glands and try to explain the reasons for the diagnostic delay and describe therapeutic specificities. CASE REPO...
