PAULA VERNETTA, C. de et al. Giant pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary gland: Transoral resection. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2008, vol.30, n.3, pp.201-204. ISSN 2173-9161.
Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor of the salivary glands that consists of a combination of epithelial and mesenchymal elements. The tumor most commonly arises from the parotid (60- 70%) or submandibular glands. It develops less frequently on a minor salivary gland, presenting as an intraoral mass dependent on the palate or lip. A case is reported of giant pleomorphic adenoma resected using a transoral approach.
