Abstract:
The World Health Organisation (WHO) classified polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) in 1990 as a low-grade malignancy; ICD-O 8525/3 being the assigned international code. It has been frequently described as occurring in hard- or soft-palate accessory salivary glands: some cases being described in the tongue and in major salivary glands. We present an extensive literature review about PLGA and the most common diagnostic pitfalls. We also report the first case where it was seen surrounding an impacted maxillary tooth and discuss it in regard to our review.
