Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor most common of salivary glands, it usually occurs in major salivary glands, especially the parotid gland. Normally, it is seen as a firm nodule, painless with slow growth. Its locations most common, in minor salivary glands, are the soft and hard palate and upper lip, it can be found in other regions less frequently. This lesion has slight preference for females and its treatment consists on surgical excision. The prognosis is good to the removed benign lesions. The aim of this work is to report the case of a patient with the diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma in lower lip. The case was treated without complications, and a year follow-up patient showed no recurrence, but longer follow is necessary to indicate patient's cure.
