title: [Pleomorphic adenoma of the tongue base. A new case of big size].
abstract: The pleomorphe adenomas (PA) of the tongue base are rare (there are only 6 cases published until now) We present one case of a male 42 years old with a PA of the tongue base very big but with few symptoms. The FNAB and MRI were the key for the diagnosis and therapy. The treatment was surgical with a trans oral resection. The patient is free of tumor after seven years.
