Objective
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary gland tumor with a benign, mixed character. Majority of pleomorphic
adenomas originated from minor salivary glands seen in the hard palate. However, rarely it may originate from the other minor
salivary glands in buccal mucosa and the tongue. In this case report, excision of the pleomorphic adenoma of the buccal minor
salivary gland is presented.
Case
Clinical examination of a 55-year-old female patient who referred to our clinic with swelling in the right buccal region,
showed a solid mass in the buccal mucosa and total excision of the mass was performed with a preliminary diagnosis of lipoma.
Excisional biopsy revealed the diagnosis as pleomorphic adenoma.
Conclusion
Pleomorphic adenoma originated from the minor salivary glands cause confusions regarding diagnosis with other lesions.
Therefore, reaching the definite diagnosis can only be possible by confirming the clinical and radiological examinations with
histological examination.
