Abstract
The pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign neoplasm of the salivary glands, they can be larger or smaller, therefore, when its occurrence is in the smaller ones, the palate is the most affected site of the pathology. This article aims to carry out a descriptive case study of a patient with a diagnosis of Pleomorphic Adenoma located in the upper lip. A 55-year-old male patient, leucoderma, attended the Brazilian Dental Association (ABO/RJ - Campos dos Goytacazes) in 2022 in the course of Minor Oral Surgery. During the anamnesis, the patient mentioned the appearance of a slow-growing lesion in the upper left lip region during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conclude from this case study that the early diagnosis and treatment of any change in the oral cavity is of paramount importance. For pleomorphic adenoma, total excision of the lesion is the most indicated treatment.
