Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Pleomorphic adenoma can be defined as a benign mixed tumor composed of epithelial and myoepithelial cells arranged with various morphological patterns, demarcated from surrounding tissues by fibrous capsule. It is one of the salivary gland tumors affecting both major and minor salivary glands. Parotid gland is the most commonly affected of the major group, and palate is the most common site intraorally. We report a case of palatal pleomorphic adenoma in a 24 year-old adult female came to our College with the chief complaint of a swelling at the left side of the palate. Computed Tomography scans revealed areas of bony erosion. The patient was treated by wide local excision followed by placement of bactiguage over the defect and stabilised with palatal plate. The defect was left to granulate of itself uneventfully.
