ABSTRACT

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary gland tumour and accounts for about 60% of all salivary neoplasms. Pleomorphic adenomas usually are slow-growing painless masses. An important characteristic is that it is a tumour of variable and incomplete capsulation. In the palate, tumours are usually seen unilaterally at the junction of the hard and soft palate. In the hard palate they feel fixed due to the proximity of the underlying mucoperiosteum. Although pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumour it can cause problems in clinical management due to its tendency to recur and the risk of malignant transformation. However, recurrences are rare in the minor glands.
