Pleomorphic Adenoma of Soft Palate
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign mixed salivary gland neoplasm that accounts for 60% of all benign salivary gland tumors. Pleomorphic adenomas are benign tumors of the salivary glands and are usually seen in major salivary glands, whereas are rare in minor salivary glands. Here We report the case of a 36-year-old female who presented with a painless slow growing swelling of palate over the last 2 years. The entire mass was excised along with overlying mucosa. Histopathological examination confirmed diagnosis of PA of minor salivary gland.
