Abstract
|
|
|
|
Adenomatoid hyperplasia of the minor salivary glands is a rare clinicopathologic entity with an unknown etiology. The clinical features of the lesion are nodular, non-painful swellings, and the histologic features are aggregates of normal-appearing, salivary gland tissue, in excess of what would be anticipated for the anatomic site. This tumor is of significance because of its clinical resemblance to salivary gland tumors. Although this lesion may occur at any site on the oral mucosa, the labial mucosa is known to be the least common site. We herein report a rare case of adenomatous hyperplasia of the minor salivary glands located on the lower labial mucosa.
