Nanotechnology has emerged as a transformative force in tissue engineering, particularly within the fields of otolaryngology (ENT) and dental medicine. By manipulating materials at the nanoscale, researchers have developed innovative solutions to complex clinical challenges, enhancing tissue regeneration and repair. This article delves into the current applications of nanotechnology in ENT and dental tissue engineering, explores cutting-edge advancements, and discusses future prospects.Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary gland tumor accounting for 80% of all major salivary gland tumors. It is a benign salivary gland tumor that constitutes 3% to 10% of the neoplasms of the head and neck region [1]. Salivary gland neoplasms represents less than 1% of all tumors. Palate is the commonest site amongst the pleomorphic adenoma of the minor salivary glands. Apart from the palate it could be found in the larynx, floor of the mouth, upper lip and cheek. This article is being presented as this case presented with a mass near the right tonsil which mimicked a growth from the tonsil itself which is a rare entity with very few cases reported in literature.
