Background:

Pleomorphic adenomas are the most common benign salivary gland tumors.
Minor salivary gland tumors, though less common than major salivary gland tumors, can present unique diagnostic and surgical challenges.
Palatal minor salivary glands are a frequent site for pleomorphic adenomas.

Observation:

A clinical case of a pleomorphic adenoma affecting a minor salivary gland of the palate is presented.
Diagnostic methods included clinical examination, X-ray imaging, and histopathological analysis.
The tumor presented with specific signs and symptoms that warranted investigation.

Findings:

Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma.

Related Experiment Videos

Surgical excision of the entire tumor, including the adjacent periosteum, was performed.

A prefabricated acrylic obturator was successfully installed post-surgery.

Implications:

This case demonstrates a standard and effective surgical approach for palatal pleomorphic adenomas.
The use of an obturator is crucial for restoring function and aesthetics after extensive palatal resection.
Accurate diagnosis and complete surgical removal are key to favorable outcomes in minor salivary gland tumors.
