Abstract:

Introduction: Pleomorphic Adenoma (PA) is the most common tumor of major and minor salivary glands. The most common intraoral site for PA is the palate.
Case Report: 23 year old young male presented with complains of hard, painless mass over the palate more on left side for the last 10 months. On examination, a firm, well-circumscribed, smooth, non tender, fixed mass was present over the hard palate measuring 3 cm × 3 cm. Outside FNAC report was suggestive of benign tumor most probably pleomorphic adenoma. MRI showed
a well defined, lobulated enhancing lesion in the left half of hard palate with no locally infiltrative features. We excised the tumor with overlying mucosa with adequate margins and specimen sent for frozen section. Frozen section reported as pleomorphic adenoma of palate. Then we planned for reconstruction of the palatal defect with greater palatine artery based palatal rotational flap. At one year of follow up, patient was free from disease with healthy flap.
Conclusion: The definitive treatment protocol for pleomorphic adenoma of palate is its complete surgical excision with removal of entire specimen to avoid recurrence.
