Abstract
The authors describe a case of adenomatoid hyperplasia of a minor salivary gland. On the basis of the literature, they discuss the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects and dwell upon the value of the histologic examination as the only way to achieve a correct diagnosis, because the lesion cannot be clinically discriminated from the tumoral lesions.
