CanalicularAdenoma of Palate -A Rare Case and Review
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
Canalicular adenoma is a rare benign tumor of the minor salivary glands that is the most prevalent in older adults (mean age, 60 years). The upper lip is the most commonly affected site, followed by the buccal mucosa and palate. It presents as a nodular lesion without a tendency for recurrence. Here, we describe a case of canalicular adenoma presenting as a nodular, painful mass in the left side of a 62-year-old woman . Fine needle aspiration biopsy yielded inconclusive results but excluded malignancy. The lesion was enucleated, and a definitive diagnosis of canalicular adenoma was established by histologicaly. No signs of recurrence were noted at the 22-month follow-up examination.
