Abstract: | The majority of minor salivary gland tumors are malignant. Of the benign tumors, pleomorphic adenomas are most common. The cheeks, lips, and gingiva are rarely sites of occurrence. A case of pleomorphic adenoma of the buccal salivary gland is presented here with a discussion of the importance of magnetic resonance imaging in demonstrating the extent of the lesion and establishing a differential diagnoses. |
