Abstract: Pleomorphic adenomas are the Benign Mixed Salivary gland tumours, typically found in major salivary glands. Their occurrence in the Nasal septum is exceedingly rare. This case report details the clinical presentation, diagnostic process, and treatment of a Pleomorphic adenoma originating from the anterior part of nasal septum in a 63-year-old female patient. The patient presented with a Nasal mass and Epistaxis. The initial diagnosis required the use of both Computerised Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to accurately identify the tumour’s characteristics and extent. Complete Surgical excision was the treatment employed.
