  • Title: Pleomorphic adenoma of the minor salivary gland of the cheek.
    Author: Sharma A, Deshmukh S, Shaikh A, Dabholkar J.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 2013 Sep; 54(9):e183-4. PubMed ID: 24068067.
    Abstract:
    Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common tumour of the salivary gland. While the majority arises from the parotid gland, only a small percentage arises from the minor salivary glands. The cheek, however, is a rarely affected site with respect to pleomorphic adenomas of the minor salivary glands. Herein, we report a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the cheek, which presented with intraoral swelling, and conclude that complete surgical excision can be a curative treatment for this benign tumour.
