Tumors of the minor salivary glands are uncommon, with the most common intraoral site reported being the hard and soft palate owing to the preponderance of minor salivary glands in this region followed by the lips. Pleomorphic adenoma arising from minor salivary glands of the lips tends to occur at an earlier age than it does at other sites. Pleomorphic adenoma of the lip is a rare neoplasm, and thus its diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and a long-term follow-up. Here, the authors present a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the upper lip.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/sjmms.sjmms_109_16","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,2]],"date-time":"2018-01-02T07:31:04Z","timestamp":1514878264000},"page":"32-35","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Upper Lip: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Abdulrazaq Olanrewaju","family":"Taiwo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery\/Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery, College of Health Sciences, Usmanu Danfodiyo University\/Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdulwarith","family":"Akinshipo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Biology and Oral Pathology, Faculty of Dental Sciences, College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ramat Oyebunmi","family":"Braimah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery, Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adebayo Aremu","family":"Ibikunle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery, Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"R2-20250523","first-page":"e39","article-title":"An incidental finding of pleomorphic adenoma of the minor salivary glands in the skin area of the lower lip","volume":"14","author":"Sood","year":"2014","journal-title":"Eplasty"},{"key":"R3-20250523","first-page":"17","article-title":"Minor salivary gland tumours in a Nigerian hospital: A retrospective review of 146 cases","volume":"31","author":"Gbotolorun","year":"2008","journal-title":"Odontostomatol Trop"},{"key":"R4-20250523","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"205","DOI":"10.1007\/s12663-010-0052-5","article-title":"Pleomorphic adenoma (benign mixed tumour) of the minor salivary glands of the upper lip","volume":"9","author":"Debnath","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Maxillofac Oral Surg"},{"key":"R5-20250523","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"207","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0714.2007.00522.x","article-title":"Relative frequency of intra-oral minor salivary gland tumors: A study of 380 cases from Northern California and comparison to reports from other parts of the world","volume":"36","author":"Buchner","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Oral Pathol Med"},{"key":"R6-20250523","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"150","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijom.2005.07.006","article-title":"Intraoral minor salivary gland tumors: A review of 75 cases in a Libyan population","volume":"35","author":"Jaber","year":"2006","journal-title":"Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R7-20250523","first-page":"125","article-title":"Upper lip pleomorphic adenoma: Comparison of reported cases between 1990 and 2012","volume":"2","author":"Mortazavi","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Dent Mater Tech"},{"key":"R8-20250523","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"51","DOI":"10.3126\/jcmsn.v6i1.3603","article-title":"Pleomorphic adenoma of the upper lip: A case report","volume":"6","author":"Shrestha","year":"2010","journal-title":"Nepal Med Coll J"},{"key":"R9-20250523","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"181","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-014-0560-6","article-title":"Canalicular adenoma: A clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis of 67 cases with a review of the literature","volume":"9","author":"Thompson","year":"2015","journal-title":"Head Neck Pathol"}],"container-title":["Saudi Journal of Medicine &amp; Medical Sciences"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/01797456-201806010-00008","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T20:04:58Z","timestamp":1787774698000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/01797456-201806010-00008"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,14]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/sjmms.sjmms_109_16","relation":{},"ISSN":["1658-631X","2321-4856"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1658-631X","type":"print"},{"value":"2321-4856","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,14]]}}}
