CASE A 44-year-old Indian woman presented with a painless left soft palate swelling of size 2×2 Cm for three years (Figure-1). The swelling was initially small and slowly increased its size. The overlying mucosa was slightly erythematous. The swelling was well circumscribed, smooth, firm in consistency and non-tender. Regional lymphadenopathy was present.

Pleomorphic adenoma of the soft palate: myoepithelial cell predominant.

The pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary gland tumor. A remarkable morphological diversity can exist from one tumor to the next. We present here a case of pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary glands of the soft palate which had predominantly myoepithelial cells with minimal stroma, ductal cells, or tubular elements.

Report on a huge pleomorphic adenoma (diameter 6 cm) of the right palate extending into the posterior part of the oral cavity. The dimension of the tumour and anatomical relations were documented with the use of nuclear magnetic resonance.

Pleomorphic adenoma of the hard palate.

It is one of the salivary gland tumors affecting both major and minor salivary glands. Parotid gland is the most commonly affected of the major group, and palate is the most common site int...
