Abstract
Abstract: Introduction: Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign neoplasm that develops at the expense of the salivary gland. It evolves without symptoms; the reason why late consultations are often observed. The size of its volume can have an important functional implication. Observation: A 22 years old patient was referred by a dental surgeon for a palatal swelling evolving for two years. Intraoral examination presented an ovoid palatal mass not crossing the median line. It was covered with normal mucosal. The swelling on palpation was non tender and with a firm consistency. The scanner presented a well limited homogenous lesion located at the palate. Excision was done under general anaesthesia. Palatal silicone plate was used to protect the operated wounds. Post operation evolution was simple. Discussion: Pleomorphic adenoma is one of the most frequents benign salivary glands tumours. It is relatively rare intraorally, but when it occurs it is mostly located at the palate. It is recommended to use a palatal plate after surgery to facilitate healing and promote oral functions like phonation, as well as feeding. However, most often we are faced with unforeseen events that do not permit us to follow the usual pattern. Conclusion: Oral surgeon must be able to adapt to any situation in order to provide quality services regardless of the context.
