Abstract
This review study presents literature review and discusses the clinical significance of Adenomatoid Hyperplasia, a commonly misdiagnosed lesion. This rare entity has been seldom presented and is not well enough described in the literature. Only 15 reports with 95 cases could be attained during the online literature search using the keywords: Adenomatoid, Tumor, Hyperplasia, Minor salivary Glands. Data revealed a tendency towards the male gender. Age distribution of patients did not reveal a tendency towards a specific age group but presented a peak incidence in the 4th and 5th decades. Location data revealed a tendency towards the palate, especially the hard palate. Most of the presented cases were asymptomatic and the most common initial diagnosis made was salivary gland tumor. It was concluded that, adenomatoid hyperplasia of the oral cavity may resemble a wide range of pathologies and in order to differentiate and to achieve a correct diagnosis, histological evaluation is fundamental.
