Journal Title: Journal of Dentistry and Oral Sciences - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
10% of pleomorphic adenomas occur in the minor salivary glands with the palate being the most common site. Pleomorphic adenomas account for the majority of palatal tumors; however, minor salivary gland tumours have a higher risk of malignancy compared to tumors of the major salivary glands, so definite diagnostic evaluation should be executed. A case of 26-year-old man with a longstanding history of a soft palate pleomorphic adenoma which required excision under general anaesthetia We discuss the appropriate preoperative investigations, operative technique for surgical excision, histopathologic interpretation for this patient and a brief review of literature for pleomorphic adenoma.
