Adenomatoid hyperplasia is a rare cause of swelling of the oral minor salivary glands, but is of significance because of its clinical resemblance to salivary gland tumors. The histologic appearance is one of benign hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the minor mucous glands. The clinical and histologic features of 20 new cases are reported, 19 of which occurred in the hard or soft palate. The cause of adenomatoid hyperplasia has hitherto been unclear, but the observation that 14 subjects were tobacco smokers or denture wearers, or both, suggests chronic, local trauma may be an important factor in the development of the condition.
腺样增生是口腔小涎腺肿大的罕见原因，但因其在临床上与涎腺肿瘤相似而具有重要意义。组织学表现为小黏液腺的良性增生和肥大。本文报告了20例新病例的临床和组织学特征，其中19例发生在硬腭或软腭。腺样增生的病因迄今尚不清楚，但14名受试者为吸烟者或戴假牙者，或两者兼具，这一观察结果提示慢性局部创伤可能是该病发生的一个重要因素。
