Pleomorphic Adenoma Of The Hard Palate – A Clinical Study
Journal Title: National Journal of Medical and Dental Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction : Pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary glands of the hard palate is a rare benign tumor. Aims & Objectives : The purpose of this study was to collect data regarding age, size, symptoms, CT findings, recurrence tendency and tretment of Pleomorphic adenoma of hard palate. Methods : A clinical study of 12 cases of pleomorphic adenoma of hard palate operated between January 2014 to March 2018 were included in the study. FNAC was done preoperatively in all cases and coronal CT scan was obtained to rule out bony erosions. All patients had a palatal splint fabricated before surgery to help in retention of dressing and prevent food lodgement into the surgical wound during the healing phase. Wide local excision was done in all cases. Results : A total of 12 patients with pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary gland of hard palate were included in the study. 8 patients were male while 4 patients were females. Most common complaint was a slow growing painless palatal mass. FNAC was done for all patients and was suggestive of Pleomorphic adenoma of hard palate. Wide local excision was done in all cases with a margin of about 1cm. Wounds were allowed to heal secondarily and no reconstruction was required. Palatal acrylic splint was given in all patients. All wounds healed uneventfully and there were no recurrences in our study. Conclusion : Pleomorphic adenoma of the hard palate is a slow growing usually asymptomatic benign tumor. FNAC is a reliable and sensitive tool for screening of pleomorphic adenoma of hard palate. CT Scan is useful to rule out bony involvement. Wide local excision is the treatment of choice and recurrence is usually not seen.
