Journal Title: Journal of Dentistry and Oral Sciences - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Salivary gland tumors are rare tumors in the head and neck region and Pleomorphic Adenoma (PA) is the commonest salivary gland tumor. It is a benign tumor usually affecting parotid, submandibular or minor salivary glands. In minor salivary glands, the palate and lip are the commonest sites. Histopathological examination and various imaging techniques aid n diagnosis. Wide surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Here we present a rare case of PA of the buccal mucosa.
