Pleomorphic Adenoma of Palate.

Pleomorphic adenoma is a common benign minor salivary gland tumor of the oral cavity, with the palate being the most common site. Considering the local anatomy, profuse vascularity, and proximity to vital structures, diagnosis and surgical management present specific challenges. The lack of a true capsule in minor gland lesions, the associated risk of recurrence, and potential for malignant transformation are key factors to consider when formulating a treatment plan. This case report highlights early diagnosis and management, and reviews the literature on management protocols and the importance of long-term follow-up in such cases.
