Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Upper Lip: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences - Year 2011, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign mixed tumour which is the most common benign tumour of salivary glands. It mostly occurs in the parotid or submandibular glands, but may also be found in the minor salivary glands that are distributed throughout the oral cavity. Surgical removal with adequate margins is the principal treatment. Due to its microscopic projections, this tumour requires a wide resection to avoid recurrence. The authors report a case of a pleomorphic adenoma in the upper lip, the second site for frequency for benign tumours of minor salivary glands, after the hard and soft palate.
