Pleomorphic adenoma of the palate in children: report of a case

J L López-Cedrún et al. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1996 Jun.

Abstract

Salivary gland tumors are rare in infancy, and almost all of them are found in the parotid gland. Minor salivary gland tumors are even more rare, pleomorphic adenoma being the most frequently involved tumor. Only six well-described cases of pleomorphic adenoma arising in the palate have been reported in children. A case occurring in a 16-year-old boy is presented.
