Abstract

Pleomorphic adenomas are the most frequently occurring salivary gland tumors involving both the major and the minor glands. The predominant location of this tumor is the parotid of the major salivary gland, and the palate of the minor salivary glands. The lip is the site where this tumor rarely developes.We have recently experienced two cases of pleomorphic adenomas occurring in the minor salivary gland in the upper lip. Clinical features of two cases were presented and the literature on minor salivary gland tumors was reviewed.
