Abstract
Pleomorphic adenoma is a common benign tumor found in the major salivary glands and can also originate from accessory salivary glands. Here, we present an exceptionally rare case of pleomorphic adenoma arising from the infratemporal space, confirmed by histological analysis. Treatment primarily involved complete resection using a cervical approach. This case prompts a review of the diagnosis, clinical characteristics, and treatment strategies for pleomorphic adenoma originating in the infratemporal space, drawing insights from existing literature.
