Canalicular adenomas are uncommon, benign epithelial neoplasm of the salivary glands that usually involve the upper lip and the buccal mucosa of elderly people. Differential diagnosis of the canalicular adenoma versus adenocarcinoma is important because it may result in unjustified radiotherapy or extensive and aggressive surgery. Despite the benign nature of canalicular adenomas, complete surgical removal and a regular clinical follow-up are recommended. The current study describes the diagnostic procedures, surgical management, and follow-up of a canalicular adenoma involving the palate of a 79-year-old man.
小管腺瘤是一种罕见的唾液腺良性上皮性肿瘤，通常累及老年人的上唇和颊黏膜。鉴别诊断小管腺瘤与腺癌很重要，因为这可能导致不合理的放疗或广泛而激进的手术。尽管小管腺瘤具有良性性质，但仍建议进行完整的手术切除并定期进行临床随访。本研究描述了一名79岁男性腭部小管腺瘤的诊断过程、手术治疗及随访情况。
