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.
