Stromal bone formation in pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary gland origin

Y Takeda et al. J Nihon Univ Sch Dent. 1996 Jul.

Abstract

We report an unusual case of pleomorphic adenoma with multifocal stromal bone formation, occurring in the upper lip of a 44-year-old Japanese woman. Islands of fibrous bone were in direct contact with stromal fibrocytes and parenchymal epithelial cells. A review of the literature revealed that stromal bone formation in pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary gland origin is exceedingly rare.
