Pleomorphic Adenoma in the Lower Lip: A Case Report and a Review

Abstract: Pleomorphic adenoma constitutes 50% of salivary gland tumors affecting mostly the parotid gland extraorally, and the palate intraorally. While the upper lip is a common site, it is unusual to encounter this tumor in the lower lip. A 26-year-old man complained of a persistent lump affecting the lower lip. The lesion was excised and was shown on histopathological examination to be a pleomorphic adenoma with squamous metaplasia. At the 18-month review appointment, there was complete healing and no recurrence. Ple… Show more

“…4 Pleomorphic adenoma was one the most common tumors found among benign neoplasms. 24 Among salivary gland neoplasms similar findings were reported by Tian et al 25 The etiology of salivary gland tumors is unknown and they comprise 3% of head and neck tumors in the United States. 26 A significant difference was found in relation to mean age of patients with the older people who were more likely to be diagnosed with malignant tumors.…”

“…We conducted a search of the literature on lip PAs (in Japan and worldwide) and found 35 cases described in 31 reports since 2000 (Table 2) (10,11,14-17,19-22,26-39,41). Of the 35 past cases of lip PA, 30 (85.7%) were in the upper lip (10,11,13,15,17,(19)(20)(21)(23)(24)(25)(26)(28)(29)(30)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41) and only five (14.3%) were in the lower lip (14,16,22,27,31). The male-tofemale ratio of the lip PAs was 4:3 (a nonsignificant difference), and the age range was from 10 to 72 years (Table 2).…”

“…Additionally, there were no signs of tumor in peripheral nerves, and this excluded the neurofibroma. Moreover, pleomorphic adenoma is reported more frequently in the upper lip than the lower lip [ 35 ], which is why it was suspected that this lesion was originally pleomorphic adenoma. However, the histological findings ruled out other differential diagnoses and confirm the diagnosis of solitary OAK [ 36 ].…”
