“… 2 The palate is the most commonly affected site among minor salivary glands, but other intraoral sites were reported such as the upper and lower lips, buccal mucosa, gingiva, and tongue. 3 , 4 We report a case of PA of the palate that occurred in a 12-year-old child in order to discuss the clinical features, treatment, and prognosis of this unusual localization.…”

Salivary gland tumors in children are rare; involvement of accessory salivary glands is exceptional. We report a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the palate in a child (an 8-year-old girl) addressed by her dentist for discovering a swelling in the palate. Clinical examination revealed a firm, non-tender, nodular swelling in the left hard palate, measuring 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm, situated adjacent to the upper left second molar. Physical examination did not show signs of inflammation or surface ulceration. Oral cavity computed tomography scan did not show bone lysis. The tumor was removed with negative margins. No recurrence was noted. We aim to describe the clinical, radiological features, as well as the management of this rare localization of pleomorphic adenoma.

“…2 The data on palatal PA in the first 2 decades of life is confined to published case reports and case series. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] To date, there has never been a report of palatal PA in a patient with cleft lip and palate. Here, we describe an adolescent female with bilateral cleft lip and palate with PA of the hard and soft palate who underwent wide local excision and reconstruction with a buccal fat pad flap and buccal myo-mucosal flap (Figure 1).…”

Benign salivary gland tumors are rarely found in children and adolescents compared with adults. Pleomorphic adenomas (PAs), the most common benign salivary gland tumor, account for only 1% of all head and neck lesions and fewer than 5% of all salivary gland tumors in individuals under the age of 16 years. The data on palatal PA in the first 2 decades of life is confined to published case reports and case series. To date, there has never been a report of palatal PA in a patient with cleft lip and palate. Here we describe an adolescent female with bilateral cleft lip and palate with PA of the hard and soft palate who underwent wide local excision and reconstruction with a buccal fat pad and buccal myo-mucosal flap.

“…To establish a diagnosis of Pleomorphic Adenoma is necessary to perform an incisional biopsy, as the differential diagnosis of palatal lesions is based on other minor salivary gland tumors, such as squamous cell carcinoma and other benign and malignant mesenchymal tumors such as neurofibroma 5 . Additionally, complementary exams, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance, provide information about the tumor's location, size, and extension to the superficial structures, depth, and surrounding tissues 1 .…”
