Pleomorphic adenoma arising from submucosal minor salivary gland tissue in the head and neck is well described in the published literature. Where associated bone changes are present, benign-appearing bone remodelling is the rule, reflecting the slow growth of this benign tumour. Aggressive-appearing bone destruction was observed in this case. This atypical appearance has not been widely described.
