Abstract
Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign mixed tumor composed of epithelial and myoepithelial cells arranged with various morphological patterns, demarcated from surrounding tissues by fibrous capsule. A nonulcerated mucosal swelling on hard palate presents a challenge to the surgeons. Ultimately, complete surgical excision provides the definitive diagnosis and treatment for this salivary gland neoplasm. The mass to be removed by wide local excision with adequate margins. The present case report deals with the diagnosis and surgical management of pleomorphic adenoma in the hard and soft palate region.
Keywords: Pleomorphic Adenoma, Diagnosis, Management.
