Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor of the salivary glands, and the most common site is the parotid gland. Localization in the salivary glands and soft palate is rare. We describe the case of a 10-year-old boy with a painless mass in the soft palate in which MRI with contrast was performed for adequate characterization. The main MRI findings are described for radiologists to have as a possible differential diagnosis when faced with a similar case.
