ABSTRACT

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign neoplasm of both the major and minor salivary glands. The most frequently intraoral location is between the boundaries of the soft and hard palates. It can impede proper mastication and phonation, and prevent food from passing freely. The recurrence rate for this kind of lesion is high if a suitable surgical technique is not used, in terms of both removing the entire lesion and ensuring that the capsule that surrounds it is not compromised. In this article, we present a clinical case study carried out at the Juarez Hospital, involving a female patient with a large pleomorphic adenoma lesion. We performed an alternative surgical excision involving the elevation of a full-thickness palatal flap and complete removal of the lesion, whilst preserving its capsule. In the long-term follow up, no recurrences or neoformations were observed and we found an adequate remodeling and adaptation of the flap into its original position.
