Ask for treatment of a swelling mass over the L’t hard palate since 102/9 , which was noted by LDC , who suggested her to our OPD
3
This 16 y/o female had a swelling mass over the L’t palate since 102/09, which was noted by a LDC dentist, who referred her to KMUH for
further examination. In 102/11/20, she first went to KMUH OS. Dept. for examination and she
said she had pathology examination in OOH.
Therefore, she made an appointment in
102/11/27, and the pathology result showed benign salivary gland. In 103/1/8, GA routine was arranged, and OP arranged on 103/01/23.

Discussion
Salivary gland tumor (WTO)
1. Adenoma
2. Carcinoma
3. Non-epithelial tumor
4. Malignant lymphomas
5. Secondary tumor
6. Unclassified tumor
7. Tumor-like lesions
Salivary gland tumor
2/3 to 3/4 of all salivary gland tumors(SGTs) occur in the parotid gland.
2/3 to 3/4 of all parotid gland tumors are benign.
9 %-23% occur in minor salivary gland
Minor salivary gland
Benign 及 malignant 發生率約各佔一半
The most common benign tumor in minor SG is pleomorphic adenoma (about 40%)
Minor salivary gland
The most common tumor location in minor SG is palate (50%),lateral post hard or soft palate
The most common palatal SGT is pleomorphic adenoma (40-50%)
Pleomorphic adenoma (benign mixed tumor)
1. Entirely of epithelial origin, has a prominent mesenchyme-appearing “stromal” component
2. Mixture of ductal and myoepithelial elements
3. A painless, slowly growing, firm mass
4. Any age, most common in young and middle- aged adults (30 – 60y/o), a little female
predilection
5. In parotid: most in the superficial lobe overlying the ramus in front of the ear
6. Movable initially
In minor salivary gland:
palate (50%),
upper lip (27 %),
buccal mucosa (17 %)
Pleomorphic adenoma over lateral post hard palate
Pleomorphic adenoma
over pterygomandibular area
Histopathologic features
Well-circumscribed, round to ovoid massed with smooth surfaces, encapsulated tumor
Incomplete encapsulation is more common in minor SG tumors.
Glandular and myoepithelial cells within a mesenchyme-like background
Pleomorphic adenoma
Well-circumscribed, encapsulated tumor
Duct-like structure and myxomatous background
Chondroid material
Myoepithelial cells and duct like structure
hyalinization
Plasmacytoid Myoepithelial cells: plasmacytoid, angular, spindled
Stromal changes:
•Myxomatous
•Chondroid (vacuolar degeneration)
•Myxomatous
•Hyalinization
Tumors composed entirely or almost exclusively of myoepithelial cells with no ductal element, call myoepithelioma, having a similar biologic behavior to mixed tumor.
Treatment and prognosis
Surgical excision
Conservative enucleation often results in recurrence
5% malignant transformation (carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma)
INTRODUCTION
Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common tumor (60%) of major and minor salivary glands
Nearly 70% of the tumors of minor salivary glands are Pas
Most common intraoral site is the palate, followed by upper lip and buccal mucosa
More likely to be malignant when associated with minor salivary glands (50%)
CASE REPORT
A 45-year-old female presented with a slow growing swelling, of approximately 20 years duration involving her hard and soft
palate junction on the left side, which was peanut sized when she first observed. The lesion always had been asymptomatic, with no associated pain or paresthesia.
Medical history
Patient's medical history was noncontributory.
No known allergies and had not undergone any surgeries of head and neck.
General physical examination revealed a well oriented and
moderately built individual with no signs of any systemic illness.
clinical examination
A nonulcerated, dome-shaped, palatal swelling on her hard and soft palate junction, crossing the midline.
Patient presented a typical ‘hot potato in mouth’ speech.
No complaints of pharyngeal or
airway obstruction.
Image Finding-MRI
A well-defined, multilobulated mass measuring 3.2 × 5.5 × 6.3 cm (AP × TR × CC) with
multiple well-defined areas.
The mass had well-enhanced soft tissue density without any invasion to adjacent tissues, displacing posterior third of the tongue downward
Operation
Post-OP MRI
DISCUSSION
PA of minor salivary gland is most common in palate (10%), followed by lip (4%).
Unusual sites are sinuses, larynx epiglottis, and trachea, also reported in tongue, soft palate, uvula, and even external auditory canal
malignant transformation is documented to be 1.9-23.3%.
The primary goal of excision should be complete removal of mass without risking recurrence.

1. 病人發現病灶=> 地方診所就診 => 轉診至阮綜合 => 轉診至高醫
是否因為轉診而造成診斷延遲
轉診是否可以讓病人獲得較好的治療
2. 初診日期為102.11.20,而至103.01.08 才排定在 103.01.23 OP 處理病人的問題
是否因為間隔時間較長而拖延到治療時間
1. 病人就診過程之中有轉診至數間醫院
是否因為耗費較多時間在各個醫院轉診過程之中,而造成病灶較慢被 診斷?
病人的病灶已經持續一段時間,若沒有突然急遽的變化應該對診斷影響不大
病人由門診轉至地區醫院再轉至教學醫院,是否可以因此獲得較精確 的診斷與較好的治療?
病人應該可以藉由轉診獲得專科醫師較專業的建議與比較完整的治療評估
2. 初診日期和實際手術時間相差2個月
間隔時間較長,是否可能影響到病人的治療及預後?
病人在初診之前一個星期的檢驗報告為良性,雖然良性mix tumor是有5%的 機會轉成惡性,只要沒有突然加速加劇的變化,基本上變差的機率較低,不 過建議還是要盡快的處理為佳
在本案例中病人尚未成年,在手術同意書簽署方面遇到不同狀況 時我們應該怎麼做?不同的作法又和醫學倫理以及法律層面有何 相關?
病人本身害怕手術,不願意進行手術,但父母親同 意進行並且簽 署同意書,那是否要進行手術呢?
以病人本身的意見為主,若病人感到害怕且不願意進行手術,即使家屬 已簽署手術同意書,亦不進行手術。
