Abstract
Adenomatoid hyperplasia of minor salivary glands on buccal mucosa: a case report
Pornpop Rattana-arpha, Sawita Khimsuksri
Abstract:
Adenomatoid hyperplasia (AH) of minor salivary glands is a non-neoplastic focal enlargement of the intraoral mucous glands. The pathogenesis is uncertain. However, it has been speculated that local trauma may play a role. This lesion most often occurs on the hard or soft palate. The lesion clinically presents as a sessile tumor-like nodule that mimics a neoplasm. The histopathologic findings include benign hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the minor mucous glands.
This article reports a rare AH case of buccal mucosa found in a 23-year-old Thai female patient. Relevant literature of its etiology is reviewed, together with the overall clinical and histopathologic features of AH of minor salivary glands.
