Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign mixed tumour composed of epithelial and myoepithelial cells arranged with various morphological patterns, demarcated from surrounding tissues by a fibrous pseudo capsule. The most common intraoral site is the palatal area, approximately 73%. Diagnosis is based on the history, clinical examination, radiological and histopathological examination. It should be treated as it carries the risk of 6 % malignant transformation. Wide local excision with adequate margin is the treatment of choice. Incomplete excision leads to recurrence. Here, we present a case series of 4 patients diagnosed with pleomorphic adenoma of the hard palate treated with wide local excision followed up postoperatively for 3 months.
