Core Tip	Salivary gland tumors are relatively rare. Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) (benign mixed tumor) is the most common benign tumor of salivary glands. It comprises about 3%-10% of all head and neck tumors and 50% of the major and minor salivary gland neoplasms. Among minor salivary gland tumors, the palate is the most common site of predilection (42.8%-68.8%), followed by the upper lip (15%-20%). PA of the upper lip is relatively rare. Our case report is on the clinical presentation, histopathology, and management of PA (benign mixed tumor) of the upper lip.
