title: Concurrent pleomorphic adenoma in parapharyngeal space and submandibular gland.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Pleomorphic adenoma in the parapharyngeal space either occurs de novo or as an extension from the deep lobe of the parotid gland.
  
  
  METHODS
  A rare synchronous occurrence of pleomorphic adenoma in the parapharyngeal space and submandibular gland of a 48-year-old Nigerian male is reported.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Pleomorphic adenoma concurrent in the parapharyngeal space and submandibular gland is very rare. A complete surgical excision of both tumors is the treatment of choice.
