Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary glands (formerly called mixed tumor) represents 60% of oral salivary tumors. The accessory salivary glands have their preferential location at the palate, the lips of the cheek and the oropharynx. At the level of the lips, this tumor most often affects the right upper lip. We report a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the right upper lip evolving for more than 4 years in a 70-year-old melanoderm patient who was referred to the odontostomatology department of the Idrissa Pouye General Hospital (HOGIP). The swelling was large, slightly exceeding the midline of the upper lip. The swelling measured approximately 20 cm from its long axis. It was firm, painless and did not bleed on contact and covered with a healthy-looking mucosa. The management was surgical under local anesthesia and the postoperative course was simple. Histological analysis specified that it was a well-limited nodular lesion, corresponding to a mixed epithelial and mesenchymal proliferation with a thin capsule in favor of a pleomorphic adenoma. No recurrence was observed 4 months after the operation.
