Abstract

Abstract: Adenomatoid hyperplasia of the minor salivary glands is a rare, benign, non-neoplastic, noninflammatory enlargement of the minor salivary glands. This disorder was first described by Giansanti et al. in 1971. Because most cases clinically arise in the palate, the lesions are often misdiagnosed as a salivary gland tumor, but show normal salivary gland tissue with high-density hyperplasia of mucinous acinus histopathologically. We report a case of adenomatoid hyperplasia of the palatal minor salivary gland in a 10-year-old girl. The provisional clinical diagnosis was a benign salivary gland tumor, because radiography of the region revealed obvious bone resorption. The mass was excised under general anesthesia, and the specimen was diagnosed as adenomatoid hyperplasia of the minor salivary gland on histopathological examination. Currently, 1 year after surgery, the patient has made favorable progress with no recurrence.
