Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Palate: A Case Report
A pleomorphic adenoma or mixed tumor is a heterogeneous benign tumor of the salivary glands. The most frequent site is the parotid gland. It is rare in the accessory salivary glands, preferably located in the oral mucosa (roof of the mouth, floor of the mouth, cheeks, and lips). The diagnosis of ple...

description | A pleomorphic adenoma or mixed tumor is a heterogeneous benign tumor of the salivary glands. The most frequent site is the parotid gland. It is rare in the accessory salivary glands, preferably located in the oral mucosa (roof of the mouth, floor of the mouth, cheeks, and lips). The diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma of the palate can only be made on a biopsy while remaining vigilant about the possible existence of other neoplastic foci within it. Definitive anatomopathology after excision is mandatory. Here, we present a clinical case of pleomorphic adenoma of the palate. We propose to specify the epidemiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic particularities of these tumors as well as their evolutionary characteristics. |
