Introduction: Pleomorphic adenoma is one of the most common salivary gland neoplasms, with the parotid gland being the most affected site and a lower incidence in the minor salivary glands. This article reports an unusual clinical case of pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary gland, located in the buccal mucosa and presents its treatment.Case Report: A 65-year-old female patient with a lesion in the buccal mucosa with evolution of approximately two years was evaluated. The anatomopathological report after incisional biopsy indicated pleomorphic adenoma. The treatment performed was a complete excision of the lesion under local anesthesia. The specimen, measuring 20.51 mm, was sent for anatomopathological examination, whose report confirmed the previous diagnosis. Conclusion:The complete excision of pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary gland in the buccal mucosa under local anesthesia allowed the patient to heal and prevented a possible malignant transformation, with little associated morbidity.

Approximately 10% of pleomorphic adenomas occur in the minor salivary glands with the palate being the most common site. Pleomorphic adenomas account for the majority of palatal tumours; however, minor salivary gland tumours have a higher risk of malignancy compared to tumours of the major salivary glands, so appropriate diagnostic evaluation should be prompt. We present a case of a 52-year-old man with a longstanding history of a soft palate pleomorphic adenoma which required excision under general anaesthetic via a mandibular swing approach. As well as the surgical approach to access this tumour; this case is unique as it is the largest soft palate pleomorphic adenoma reported in the literature. We discuss the appropriate preoperative investigations and airway considerations for this patient, as well as the factors to consider when planning operative management of palatal tumours.

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary gland tumor. This tumor mostly involves the parotid gland; however, if it occurs in the minor salivary glands, the palate would be the most common site. This lesion is more prevalent in patients with 40 to 60 years of age. Regarding the literature, the incidence of giant pleomorphic adenoma of the palate in young patients is considered a rare finding. Hereby, we present a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma of the palate, with an astonishing size, found in a 27-year-old patient. Furthermore, the surgical treatment of this lesion is described. This case was effectively treated with surgical curettage and tumor resection, emphasizing the significance of early detection in order to minimize complications. Surgical treatment, was beneficial to help the patient resume to normal life. Additionally, the clinical, radiological, and histopathological aspects and potential surgical treatments are discussed.
