Abstract
Benign lesions originating in the oral cavity include minor salivary gland followed by nerve sheath tumors, as well as non-neoplastic lesions such as granular cell tumor, fibroepithelial polyps, and mucoceles.1 These must be differentiated from malignant neoplasms of epithelial, glandular, hematopoietic, and mesenchymal origin, as well as neural-based tumors such as malignant schwannoma. Notably, malignancies are relatively rare in the hard palate except in patients of East Asian origin, among whom the habit of reverse smoking greatly increases the incidence of primary squamous cell carcinoma.
