[Rare sialadenoma papilliferum in the hard palate: case report and survey of the literature].
Sialadenoma papilliferum is a rare tumour of the salivary glands that usually occurs in the oral cavity. Following the course of the salivary glands of the oral mucosa, the hard and soft palate are the most common locations of this tumor. In the international literature, only a few case reports about this entity can be found. We present a 63-year-old patient with a sialadenoma papilliferum accidentally found during diagnostic procedures for progredient dysphagia. Suffering from infrabifurcal cancer of the oesophagus, the patient had undergone partial oesophagectomy 1 year before. Histological verification was performed with a tumor biopsy at the border of hard and soft palate, on the right side. This case is compared with 39 further cases reported in the literature. The therapy of choice is resection of the tumor. Because of the high frequency of recurrence, in sano resection should be planned.
