“…Case studies of huge soft palate PA have been previously reported. For instance Forde et al, reported a case of soft palate PA lesion measuring 9.9 cm in a 53‐year‐old male in the UK 9 . Murthy et al 13 described a case of large PA tumor in soft palate that was causing sleep apnea syndrome, while in their study, Yilmaz et al 14 described a case of a giant PA of soft palate leading to snoring and hypernasal speech.…”

“…PA is the commonest tumor of both major and minor salivary glands with about 70%–80% of it occurring in the parotid gland. 9 , 10 , 11 It is a mixed tumor of the salivary glands derived from epithelial, myoepithelial, mesenchymal, and stromal elements. 5 The most common affected age groups are fourth to sixth decades.…”

Key Clinical MessageBenign mixed salivary gland tumor is comprised of epithelial and myoepithelial cells and represents up to 80% of tumors of the parotid gland. It is relatively rare in the soft palate and in other minor salivary glands. Surgery is the standard care.AbstractSalivary gland tumors are relatively rare and morphologically diverse group of lesions. Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common salivary gland tumor, accounting for approximately 80% of all major and minor salivary gland tumors. PA usually affects the parotid gland. Huge PA occurring in soft palate is extremely rare. Patients with these tumors are usually between at the age of 40 and 60 years. The tumors exhibit pleomorphic nature microscopically that may pose diagnostic challenges to pathologists as may confuse PA histopathologically with other salivary gland tumors. Surgery is the standard treatment. The purpose of writing this case study is to describe unusual case of a giant PA of the soft palate found in a 44‐year‐old male successfully managed at our facility.

Pleomorphic adenomas (PA) are the most common type of salivary gland tumors. These slow-growing benign tumors most commonly involve the parotid gland, but can sometimes occur at atypical sites such as the submandibular or minor salivary glands. We describe an atypical case of pleomorphic adenoma with multicentric involvement of the parotid, the submandibular gland, and the parapharyngeal space in a 35year-old male which mimicked a slow-flow malformation on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Diagnosis was confirmed on fine needle aspiration cytology, and conservative approach was opted for the patient in view of perioperative risks. This case highlights the uncommon multicentricity and atypical presentation of PA, challenging the initial differential diagnosis based on MRI features. It also underscores the importance of considering atypical presentations and utilizing accurate diagnostic tools like cytology for managing complex salivary gland tumors.

Pleomorphic adenoma is one of the most common benign neoplasm of salivary glands and resection with enough normal tissue margin is important treatment for preventing the local recurrence. For palate tumor involving both soft palate and hard palate, palatal fistula is easier to occur as post-operative complication after resection of the tumor. The palatine aponeurosis is important anatomical barrier between soft palate and nasal cavity, and we found that by using palatine aponeurosis as surgical plane, we can do R0 resection of the tumor with preventing the palatal fistula complication. Also, we used inguinal full thickness skin graft to protect the exposed palatine aponeurosis in some cases. We analyzed 4 cases of palate pleomorphic adenoma resection using palatine aponeurosis as surgical plane and those operations were done by single surgeon. All of 4 patients had no palatal fistula and also had no recurrence of the tumor during the post-operative course.
