Pleomorphic adenoma of the palate.
Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common salivary gland tumor, accounting for about 40-70% of all major and minor salivary gland tumors. The commonest sites for intraoral PA are palate, buccal mucosa and lips. Palatal PA presents clinically as a painless, slow-growing mass found on posterior lateral aspect. The aim of this article is to present a case of palatal PA, which was treated successfully by surgical excision.
