“…The tumor lesions that affect the GSA are the same as those that affect the main salivary glands but with less frequency [2]. Indeed, GSA tumors only represent 10% to 20% of all salivary tumors [2] [4].…”

“…Indeed, GSA tumors only represent 10% to 20% of all salivary tumors [2] [4]. On the other hand, and unlike those of the main glands, 50% to 60% of GSA tumors are malignant [2]. The accessory salivary glands, scattered throughout the upper aero-digestive tracts, can be the site of rare tumors and are reputed to be benign in the majority of cases, mainly in the mucous membrane of the mouth (roof or soft palate, floor of the mouth, cheeks, lips), more rarely of the larynx or nasal cavity.…”

“…In our two patients, the tumor was located at the level of the palatal vault and the palatine tonsil. The palatal location of the pleomorphic adenoma is described by several authors [2] [5] [6]. Sixty percent of intraoral salivary tumors are found in the palatal region [2].…”

“…It is mainly found in the main salivary glands: the parotid glands (80%), the submaxillary glands (10%), the sublingual glands (1%) and the oral-pharyngeal accessory salivary glands (ASG) (9%) [1]. In GSA, pleomorphic adenoma, develops mainly in the palate, followed by the labial region [1] [2].…”

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common tumor of the salivary glands, accounting for approximately 50% of salivary gland lesions. It develops mainly in the salivary glands: parotid (80%), submaxillary (10%), sublingual (1%) and in the accessory oral-pharyngeal glands (9%). The aim of this work was to report 2 cases of pleomorphic adenoma of atypical location and then to discuss the difficulties linked to its diagnostic and therapeutic management in the Malian context. They were a 40-year-old man and a 72-year-old woman. They were admitted to the ENT department of the "Luxembourg Mere-infant" hospital for oropharyngeal swelling for the first and swelling of the palate for the second. The clinical expression was a swelling in both cases, of a hard, mobile consistency with healthy mucosa on their surface. The remainder of the physical examination was unremarkable. The diagnosis of a tumor of the oropharynx and palate was made following clinical radiological examinations. The histopathological examination of the surgical specimen made it possible to make the diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma of the palate and the left palatine tonsil. The follow-up surgery was straightforward, with a favorable outcome. Pleomorphic adenomas are relatively rare benign tumors of the accessory salivary glands; their clinical expression remains swelling. Therapeutic management is surgery and the diagnosis is confirmed by histopathological examination.

“…L'adénome pléomorphe de la lèvre est une tumeur sous muqueuse de petite taille, indolore, bosselée et recouverte d'une muqueuse normale sans inflammation péri-tumorale (4, 22) (Cas de notre 3 e patient). La cytoponction à l'aiguille fine doit être réalisée au préalable, elle permet une orientation diagnostique avant l'acte opératoire (23). L'imagerie était indispensable quel que soit la localisation, dans le bilan pré opératoire de l'adénome pléomorphe.…”
