Abstract

Papillary cystadenomas of the salivary gland are uncommon, benign, encapsulated or well‑circumscribed, multicystic tumors with intracystic papillations. In a large review, papillary cystadenoma constituted 2% of all minor salivary gland tumors. The present study reports an extremely rare case of a papillary cystadenoma arising from the palate that demonstrated oncocytic features. A 60‑year‑old man was referred by his dentist to the Second Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Osaka Dental University Hospital for the diagnostic evaluation of a mass of the left palate. An incisional biopsy was performed and the microscopic findings were interpreted as consistent with a papillary oncocytic cystadenoma. Therefore, the lesion was excised under general anesthesia. The post-operative course was uneventful and no recurrence had developed 5 years subsequent to surgery.
