Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma rarely arises in childhood. We report a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the palate. A 12-year-old boy was referred to our department for evaluation and treatment of palatal swelling. The lesion was diagnosed as a pleomorphic adenoma on examination of a biopsy specimen. The lesion was excised under general anesthesia. The pathological daiagnosis was pleomorphic adenoma. At present, the post-operative course is uneventful with no evidence of recurrence.
