“…The recommended treatment for pleomorphic adenoma in minor salivary glands is wide local excision, which involves the removal of the tumor along with the periosteum or bone if they are involved. Radiation therapy is not advised as these tumors are resistant to its effects [19]. Simple enucleation of the tumor is discouraged as it is associated with a high rate of local recurrence and should be avoided [1,10].…”

Background:- Pleomorphic adenoma can be defined as a benign mixed tumor composed of epithelial and myoepithelial cells arranged with a great histological diversity, such as differentiation into oncocytic, sebaceous, mucinous, squamous, chondroid, osseous or adipose cells demarcated from surrounding tissues by fibrous capsule. It is one of the salivary gland tumors affecting both major and minor salivary glands. Parotid gland is the most commonly affected of the major group. Among minor salivary glands, palate is the most common site intraorally. Often confused with other malignant tumours of salivary gland, systematic approach rather than aggressive treatment reduces patient morbidity and gives best results as in our case. Case presentation:- Here we present a case report of pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary gland of hard palate of a young female. Treatment was surgical excision with wide margins which was confirmed by a histopathological report. Surgical obturator was used to close the defect and monthly follow-up for 6 months to assess the healing and recurrence of the tumour. Conclusion:- Simple systematic treatment approaches often gives best results with follow up of the patient. In this case, complete resolution of the tumour following simple excision and regular follow up.

“…The treatment of PA is essentially surgical excision [7-8]. Because these tumors are radioresistant, radiation therapy is contraindicated [9]. Though these benign tumors are well-encapsulated, resection of the tumor with an adequate margin of grossly normal surrounding tissue is necessary to prevent local recurrence because these tumors are known to have microscopic pseudopod-like extensions into the surrounding tissue due to "dehiscence" in the capsule [10].…”

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.
