Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is one of the most common benign lesions of the salivary glands, with a majority of them occurring in the parotid gland. PA has origin from the epithelial and mesenchymal elements and can arise from both major and minor salivary glands. Among minor salivary glands, the palate is the most commonly affected site, followed by lips, cheeks, gingiva, the floor of the mouth, and tongue. PA of the upper lip without intraoral mucosal involvement is a rare entity. In this article, we report a case of PA of the upper lip in a middle-aged female patient and its surgical management with a novel technique. During six months' postoperative review, the patient showed excellent wound healing with very minimal scar formation.
