“…Although it occurs in the major salivary glands on most occasions, palate is considered to be a common site for minor salivary gland pleomorphic adenomas. This tumour is usually smooth surfaced, domeshaped, well-circumscribed and encapusalated 1 . Further, in our case, the palate was the affected site.…”

“…Malo je češća njegova pojava kod osoba ženskog pola. U većini slučajeva javlja se u velikim pljuvačnim žlezdama; međutim, nepce je takođe uobičajeno mesto za pojavu manjih pleomorfnih adenoma pljuvačnih žlezda 1 .…”

“…Iako se u većini slučajeva javlja u velikim pljuvačnim žlezdama, smatra se da je nepce takođe predilekciono mesto za manje pleomorfne adenome pljuvačnih žlezda. Ovaj tumor je obično glatke površine, kupastog oblika, dobro ograničen i inkapsuliran 1 .Ovakva lokalizacija je prisutna i u našem prikazu slučaja. Postojala je oteklina u obliku kupole koja je takođe pokazivala znake ulceracije.…”

Introduction: The most common major salivary gland neoplasm is the Pleomorphic adenoma. Only 10% of the pleomorphic adenoma occur in minor salivary glands. 42.8% to 68.8% of cases with intraoral lesion occurs in the palate. Here we present a rare case of a pleomorphic adenoma masquerading as a lesion of odontogenic origin. Case report presents a male patient who reported with a chief complaint of swelling in the upper left tooth region since 3 months. Panoramic radiograph revealed shadow of a soft tissue swelling in the left maxillary posterior region with destruction and resorption of the alveolar process. Radiographic differential diagnosis of benign odontogenic/non-odontogenic cysts or tumours, benign minor salivary gland tumours were considered. Excisional biopsy was carried out and the lesion was removed in total up to the periosteum and the overlying mucosa and sent for histopathologic examination, which suggested pleomorphic adenoma. Conclusion: Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign neoplasm which has excellent prognosis with a cure rate of more than 95%. However, periodic long term follow up is mandatory.

“…[1] The terms pleomorphic adenoma and mixed tumor both represent attempts to describe the unusual histopathologic features of this tumor. [2] Numerous theories have been proposed to explain the histogenesis of this lesion, most of which center around myoepithelial cells and reserve cells in the intercalated duct. [3] Pleomorphic adenoma is the most commonly occurring neoplasm in the salivary glands and represents around 60-75% of all salivary gland tumors.…”

Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor, which exhibits both epithelial and mesenchymal components. It is the most common neoplasm of the major and minor salivary glands. The palate is the most commonly aff ected minor salivary gland site. Clinically, the lesion occurs as a painless, slow-growing, dome-shaped mass with a smooth surface. Microscopic examination shows a mixture of glandular epithelial and myoepithelial cells within a mesenchyme-like background. Treatment consists of surgical excision down to the underlying periosteum. This paper describes a case of a pleomorphic adenoma of the hard palate, which was diagnosed in a 46-year-old female patient.
