“…Our data agree with the studies that consider the pleomorphic adenoma as the most common benign neoplasm of the minor salivary glands. (5,11,13-15,23,24,26,31) Kruse et al, (6) evaluated only malignant neoplasms of minor salivary glands and observed that adenoid cystic carcinoma was the most prevalent lesion, in disagreement with this study. We suggest that the geographic location of studies and the site where the research was conducted (reference centers for cancer treatment or not) may explain the divergence in these results.…”

“…(13) In the present study, most of the minor salivary gland tumors were malignant, and this data is corroborated by the literature, (5,11,12,14,17,18,22-28) however there are some authors that disagree. (2,10,13,15,19,29-31) The data of the present study are justified by the fact that Hospital Dr. Luiz Antônio is a reference center in the care of cancer patients.…”

Objective To evaluate the clinical-pathological profile of patients with minor salivary gland neoplasms.Methods A retrospective study of specific cases diagnosed as benign and malignant tumors of the minor salivary glands was performed. The data were collected from medical records of patients seen at a hospital over a period of 15 years. The sample was made up of 37 cases. For the pathological study, slides containing 5μm thick sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin were used. The data were tabulated using descriptive statistics.Results Malignant neoplasms represented 70.3% of cases. The mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most common neoplasm (45.9%), followed by pleomorphic adenoma (24.4%). Most patients were female (70.3%), aged between 71 and 80 years. The palate (67.6%) and the retromolar region (10.8%) were the most affected sites.Conclusion Mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most common tumor in minor salivary glands. These tumors are more common in females aged over 40 years. The palate was the most common affected site.

“…However, some indicated that this tumor is rare in minor salivary gland (8,10,16,23). Interestingly, in two studies, PLGA was the commonest salivary gland malignancies (18,24). Finally, one study demonstrated that the percentages of PLGA considerably differed by continent, ranging from 3.9% in Asia to 20% in Oceania (20).…”

Background: Palatal neoplasms may demonstrate different microscopic features compared with other anatomic area of the oral cavity, which is due to the accumulation of a large amount of salivary gland structure. Objectives: Due to lack of adequate information on malignant neoplasms of this unique anatomic site, the current study aimed at evaluating the prevalence of palatal cancers in Iranian population during a 6-year period. Methods: The files of Iran cancer registry, ministry of health and Medical education have been used as the source of the materials from 2003 to 2009 for this study. This center has been collecting data on patients with cancer from all main hospitals located in various cities of Iran. All palatal malignant lesions were recorded. Patients' gender, decades of life, and histopathologic type of cancers were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed, using SPSS 21 software and the results with P < 0.05 were considered significant. Results: Palatal cancers accounted for 8.66% of the oral malignancies. During this period, 303 cases of palatal malignancies had been registered in this center. The majority of cases were in the 5th to 8th decades of life with male to female ratio 1.29. Salivary gland malignancies were the most common cancers in palatal region (47.19%) followed by epithelial cancers (36.3%) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (5.94%). Conclusions: This study provided a large series of demographic data and microscopic variations of palatal cancers in Iran, which may contribute to precise diagnosis and better treatment of these malignancies.

“…These tumors are more likely to be malignant as compared to tumors of the major salivary glands, although benign tumors are still common place [2]. The most frequently encountered benign tumor is the pleomorphic adenoma which usually occurs in the palate at the junction between the hard and soft palate [3,4], although other intraoral sites have been reported [1,[4][5][6][7].…”

Background: Pleomorphic salivary adenomas (PSA) are the commonest salivary tumor and are benign neoplasms that affect mostly the parotid glands. PSA's can however affect the minor salivary glands, typically around the palate. The treatment of choice for minor gland PSA's is via complete surgical excision and close monitoring to exclude recurrences. Case Report: We describe here a rare case of a minor salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma arising from the glosso-tonsillar sulcus in a 41-year-old patient. The presented tumor was treated with full surgical excision and was followed-up with regular MRI scans to rule out recurrences. Conclusion: PSA's of the minor salivary glands are uncommon and should be treated with a high level of suspicion due to a high malignant potential.
