Abstract
Pleomorphic adenomas of the submandibular glands are exceedingly rare tumors in the pediatric practice. Patients usually present with a painless and mobile mass without any other associated symptoms. Radiologic studies are usually unable to differentiate benign from malignant tumors in most cases. Recurrences are rare with complete en bloc excision of the tumor and the submandibular gland. Except for the rare cases of malignant transformation, the prognosis is excellent.
