Intraoral pleomorphic adenoma is a rare entity, with the most common site of appearance being the palate. As a benign lesion, it rarely involves underlying structures. The aim is to present a case of a palatal pleomorphic adenoma (cellular) with bone involvement, with reference to clinical and histological features of the tumour, emphasis on diagnostic and therapeutic management and comparison with the findings of similar studies in the literature. Pleomorphic adenomas of the palatal minor salivary glands remain a rather rare clinical condition, and it is unusual to infiltrate the adjacent palatal bone. A thorough clinical imaging and histological/cytological examination should always be performed to define the benign or malignant nature of the lesion, preoperatively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
