Published: March 2009

We report an unusual presentation of a salivary pleomorphic adenoma in the uvula. The adenoma caused otalgia and hypernasal speech in a patient without additional symptoms. The tumor was surgically excised with safe margins of the healthy tissue. After the excision of the mass, the new uvula was reconstructed through modified radiofrequency-assisted uvulopalatoplasty technique. After the treatment, the patient has remained disease-free for 1 year.
