Cystadenomas are rare salivary gland tumours characterised by prominent epithelium-lined papillary projections into the cystic spaces. A 37 year-old female, presented with a swelling on the right side of the hard palate. Clinically, the swelling was soft, fluctuant, sessile and non-tender measuring 2.5 9 2 cm in diameter. Excisional biopsy was performed. The histopathological and immunohistochemical features were characteristic of mucinous cystadenoma. There has been no recurrence over a 2-year follow up period. The article highlights its clinical, histopathological, immunohistochemical features and differential diagnosis along with review of literature. Cystadenoma of the palate is rare, papillary variety being more common than mucinous with very few cases reported in literature.
