Pleomorphic adenoma in palate - Case reports
2023 - Volume 2 -
Issue 1
Summary
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most frequent benign neoplasm of the salivary glands and usually manifests as painless masses of firm consistency and slow growth, located in relation to the parotid gland and minor salivary glands located in the palate. The diagnosis is established by histopathological analysis and its treatment consists of surgical excision with safety margins due to possible recurrence or malignant transformation of the entity. In the present study we propose to update the knowledge about this pathology by reporting 3 cases of pleomorphic adenoma of palatal location with similar clinical, histologic and radiographic features, which were treated by surgical excision with safety margins and installation of palatal containment.
