Abstract :
We report a rare case of a pleomorphic adenoma with lipometaplasia. A 32-year-old woman presented with intraoral swelling over right side of palate. Computed tomography revealed a heterogeneously enhancing right hard palatal mass without bony erosions. Preoperative diagnosis was offered with intraoral fine needle aspiration cytology following which excision was performed. On histopatholgy, final diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma with lipometaplasia offered. Though rare it must be kept in mind as differential in cases of fat containing salivary gland lesions.
