Pleomorphic adenomas (PA) also called benign mixed tumors are most common tumors of salivary gland. Pleomorphic adenoma arising from the larynx is very rare. We report a 28 years old male patient who presented with shortness of breath and dry cough since 2 years, treated as asthma. The last crisis the patient warrants an intubation which failed and warrants an ENT consultation. ENT examination showed a mass in the subglottic region. After excision the pathology was in favor of pleomorphic adenoma.
