Pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectactic tumor (PHAT) of soft parts is a recently defined mesenchymal tumor of uncertain differentiation, with only a limited number of examples reported to date. We present a case of PHAT of the buccal mucosa in an 86‐year‐old woman. To our knowledge, there is no formal description of this tumor in the oral cavity.
