説明

We describe minor salivary gland tumors of the tip of the uvula, causing elongated uvula in two patients.<br>Case 1. A 78-year-old woman had a pleomorphic adenoma with an elongated uvula which reached the upper incisor teeth. Case 2. A 66-year-old woman had a monomorphic adenoma with an elongated uvula that always touched the base of the tongue. The elongated portions of the uvulae were excised and the bases were left.<br>Benign tumors of the uvula, excluding papilloma, are rare, especially at the tip of the uvula. The terminology of elongated uvula has not been established yet. We propose a definition of elongated uvula as uvula touching the tongue all the time.<br>These cases suggest that the weight of the tumor and traction during swallowing are causative factors of uvula elongated by tumor.
