“…Of the benign tumors, PA is the most common. [ 2 ] The most common site of this tumor is the palatal area (approximately 73%),[ 3 ] followed by upper lip (17%),[ 4 ] buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth, tongue tonsil, pharynx, and retromolar area. The unusual sites are sinuses, larynx, epiglottis, and trachea.…”

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a benign tumor of the salivary glands commonly seen in the parotid and submandibular salivary glands. Rarely, it is seen in the minor salivary glands located at lips, palate, and other parts of the upper aerodigestive tract. We report a case of an unusually large PA of the hard palate in a female patient involving left maxillary sinus and nasal cavity. After excising, the tumor with adequate clinical margins (1 cm), a large postsurgical defect was managed by the use of obturator and it gradually healed by secondary intention in about 6-month period. The unique feature in our case was that in spite of the long duration of the tumor (30 years), it did not undergo malignant transformation.

“…Pleomorphic adenomas (PA) are heterogeneous benign tumors originating in the salivary gland. The term pleomorphic characterizes the diversity of tumor histology, whose essential components are capsule, epithelial and myoepithelial cells, and mesenchymal elements or stroma 1 .…”

“…PA occur primarily in the major salivary glands, such as the parotid gland, and rarely develop in minor salivary glands 1 . However, when they do develop in minor salivary glands, the most common site is the palate, followed by lips, buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth, tongue, tonsils, pharynx, retromolar region, and nasal cavity 1,2 . PA in the larynx are very rare, with fewer than 30 cases reported in the literature to date 2 .…”

A 47-year-old man, with complaints of dysphonia and snoring for 10 years, sought medical assistance and underwent physical evaluation and complementary tests that showed a non-infiltrative, well-delimited, approximately 3 cm-large nodular lesion in the supraglottic region, occluding the laryngeal aditus during inspiration. It evolved with need for tracheostomy, followed by lateral pharyngotomy for excision of the lesion. Histologic and immunohistochemical examinations confirmed the rare diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma of the minor salivary gland located in the larynx. The patient is being followed up with improvement of the symptomatology and absence of lesion recurrence. Pleomorphic adenomas (PA) are heterogeneous benign tumors originating in the salivary gland.

“…Los tumores de glándulas salivales son poco frecuentes, y representan del 3 al 5% de las neoplasias de cabeza y cuello en los adultos. Alrededor del 80% se localizan en la glándula parótida, el 10% en la submaxilar y el otro 10% entre las glándulas sublinguales y las salivales menores (1).…”

Los tumores de las glándulas salivales representan entre el 3 y el 5% de los tumores de cabeza y cuello. De ellos, el adenoma pleomórfico es el más común, y suele constituir el 65% de los tumores de la glándula parótida y el 50% de los de la glándula submaxilar. Las glándulas salivales menores están distribuidas por toda la cavidad oral, pero se concentran en los labios y el paladar, y es infrecuente su crecimiento neoplásico. Se presenta un caso clínico que demuestra la historia natural de un paciente con un adenoma pleomórfico en paladar blando, derivado de una glándula salival menor, junto con los detalles de su diagnóstico y tratamiento quirúrgico.
