| Summary: | Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common neoplasm encountered in major and minor salivary glands. Intraorally, it is most frequently developed in the palatal glands. Histologically, it is characterized by a diverse architecture comprised of epithelial stromal elements mixed with mucoid, myxoid, or chondroid fibrohyaline. A PA does not generally present gender bias and can occur at any age with the same clinical behavior. It is usually a round, slow-growing, painless tumor, which is firm upon palpation. We reported two cases of adult patients who were treated using transoral resection at San Juan de Dios Hospital in La Serena. |
