Pleomorphic Adenoma of Hard Palate: A Case Report

Salivary gland tumors are rare and account for only 2-3% of head and neck tumors, most of which are benign. Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary gland tumor. This tumor mostly involves the parotid gland. However, if it occurs in the minor salivary glands, the palate is the most common site, followed by the lips, buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth, tongue, tonsils, pharynx, retromolar trigone, and gingiva. It usually presents as a slow-growing, painless submucosal mass on the hard palate. For a definitive diagnosis, it is necessary to perform a preoperative core biopsy for histopathological examination and Computed Tomography to evaluate the erosion of the hard palate and the severity of the erosion. We aim to describe the clinical, and radiological features, as well as the management of this rare localization of pleomorphic adenoma. In this case, a 30-year-old Iranian male patient with pleomorphic adenoma of the small salivary glands of the hard palate with the chief complaint of painless swelling on the left side of the palate for the past 5 years was reported. Although pleomorphic adenoma is a common entity, it is still a challenging tumor for pathologists, radiologists and surgeons. Various histological and topographic features make this tumor unique. Computed tomography and correct histopathological diagnosis are necessary to establish an appropriate surgical treatment, to achieve complete removal of the lesion through extensive local excision with periosteum or bone removal if involved to prevent recurrence.

Pleomorphic adenoma of hard palate: Review of updated literature and "case report".

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a rare benign tumor mainly affecting the major salivary glands, known for its diverse histological appearances that can mimic malignancies. When it occurs in the hard palate it present diagnostic and management challenges compared to other sites due to the anatomical location and potential proximity to critical structures. This case reports a rare presentation PA starting as an ulcer, alongside a review of rare cases of PA reported in last 5 years. We aim to highlight clinical challenges and emphasize the need for awareness in diagnosis of this diverse entity amongst the clinicians before reaching a definitive conclusion. A 41-year-old female reported an asymptomatic large swelling on the right side of the posterior palatal region. Clinical diagnosis revealed a firm, rubbery, and non-tender swelling of approximately 4 cm × 4 cm diameter. A triangular incisional biopsy was performed to confirm the diagnosis. The histopathological evaluation confirmed the presence of a PA with a well-encapsulated and compressed salivary gland. A wide surgical dissection was made to remove the entire encapsulated tumor mass, including the mucoperiosteum and eroded bone of the palate. The borderline of the tumor was carefully identified in the surrounding healthy tissue. The hemostasis was obtained using a simple interrupted suture. The diagnosis of PA is difficult as it usually involves extensive squamous and mucous metaplasia, confusing it with malignant disorders. Histopathological and clinical examinations are important for differentiating this lesion from other tumors. Complete surgical excision is reported as the first line of treatment.

Pleomorphic Adenoma of Hard Palate: A Case Report

Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign and most common tumor of both major and minor salivary glands. Majority of the minor salivary glands’ tumor are malignant. However, pleomorphic adenoma is the most common neoplasm of palate. Large pleomorphic adenoma in palate may cause pressure erosion of palate mimicking malignant pathology. Imaging with Computed tomography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging is important for surgical planning of the tumors in the uncommon location like palate. Here, we present a case of histopathologically proven pleomorphic adenoma of palate which was evaluated with CT scan prior to wide local excision.

Pleomorphic adenoma of hard palate: A novel case report

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is one of the most commonly seen benign tumors that affect salivary glands. Among the major salivary glands, it mostly affects the parotid, whereas in the hard palate it affects the minor salivary glands, which account for about 40–70% of all salivary tumors. This case report describes a case of an edentulous female who developed a mixed tumor in the minor salivary gland of the hard palate, which was successfully removed by surgical excision.

Pleomorphic Adenoma of Hard Palate: A Case Series

ABSTRACT Introduction Pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary glands of the hard palate is a rare benign tumor that has elements of both epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. It usually presents as slow-growing painless submucosal mass on the hard palate. Diagnosis rests on clinical features and tissue examination with radiological investigations helping in surgical planning. Aim and objective To add to the literature few more cases of this relatively rare condition and discuss its clinical presentation and management. Case description Here, we present a case series of three patients who presented with a mass over the hard palate that was subsequently diagnosed as pleomorphic adenoma and discuss the treatment of the same. Conclusion Treatment of choice is wide local excision with removal of periosteum or bone if involved. Recurrence rate is low. How to cite this article Gupta SR, Thorawade VP, Khan MHMS.

Pleomorphic adenoma of hard palate -A case report

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign salivary gland tumour consisting of cells exhibiting the ability to differentiate into epithelial and mesenchymal cells. Parotid is the most common site of occurrence among major salivary glands and palate is the most common site of occurrence in case of minor salivary gland involvement. This article presents a case of a dome shaped swelling over the posterolateral part of hard palate which was a diagnostic challenge, and was successfully treated by surgical excision.

Pleomorphic adenoma of hard palate: An usual tumor in an unusual location with brief review of literature

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor affecting the major salivary glands, though infrequently it may arise from the minor salivary glands as well. Majority of tumors affecting the minor salivary gland are malignant. We report a rare case of minor salivary gland PA of the hard palate in a 40-year-old female patient who presented with painless swelling in the palatal region for 2 years affecting swallowing and deglutition. A brief review of literature is also presented here.

Pleomorphic Adenoma of Hard Palate

Pleomorphic Adenoma of Hard Palate

English

Pleomorphic adenoma is a commonest benign tumor of the salivary glands that has elements of both epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. It is most commonly seen in the parotid and submandibular glands. Infrequently it might present as an intraoral mass, of which hard palate is the commonest site. Hereby we report a case of pleomorphic adenoma of hard palate in a 26 years old female, who presented to ENT OPD with a mass over roof of oral cavity. Fine needle aspiration of the mass clinched the diagnosis of Pleomorphic adenoma. The mass was excised completely by transoral approach.

Pleomorphic adenoma of hard palate: A report of four cases

Introduction: Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common tumor of the salivary gland. The tumor most commonly arises in the parotid or submandibular salivary glands. Infrequently, it arises from minor salivary glands. Minor salivary gland tumors are mostly malignant. Case Report: We report four cases of pleomorphic adenoma of hard palate. All four cases range from 30–45 years. All were benign. Conclusion: Pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary gland of hard palate is a rare benign tumor. Benign tumors at this site are more common then malignant ones. Complete evalutation of patients and complete removal of the tumor must be ensured so that tumor does not recur.

Pleomorphic Adenoma of Hard Palate: An Experience

Pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary glands of hard palate is a rare benign tumour. It usually presents as slow growing submucosal mass on hard palate. The purpose of this study was to collect observational data regarding age, size, symptoms, CT findings and treatment of pleomorphic adenoma of hard palate. The prospective observational study was done in the Department of ENT, Department of Oral and maxillofacial surgery at SKIMS Medical College and at Peoples Care Polyclinic for a period of 2years. Twenty cases were enrolled in the study. After clinical suspicion, computed tomography, FNAC and core needle biopsy was done in all twenty cases before any surgical intervention was done. Most common age group seen to be involved was 16-30 years. Most common symptom was submucosal slow growing mass. Core biopsy was diagnostic with 100% efficacy. On CT scan twelve patients (60%) were seen to have intact hard palate even without minor erosions while four patients had full thickness erosion of hard palate. Surgical wide excision was done in all cases and one patient needed total maxillectomy. All treated patients were followed for one year and none showed signs of recurrence. Pleomorphic adenoma of hard palate is usually seen in adults. Definitive diagnosis lies on histopathological examination. CT is necessary for ruling out any bony erosion. Treatment is by wide local excision.
