title: The "pedicle flap": a technique for complete excision of benign salivary gland tumors of the palate.
abstract: Morphology and growth pattern of the pleomorphic adenoma are discussed. The relationship between these factors and recurrence is examined. A new technique for excision is also described. This technique is particularly useful for those tumors that extend into the soft palate.
