%X Salivary glands may be affected by numerous neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions. Tumour-like conditions should be clearly distinguished one from another and from true neoplasms since their treatment, prognosis and follow-up may differ. Adenomatoid hyperplasia of minor salivary gland is a rare entity, with very few documented reports in the literature since its first description, whose etiology remains unclear. Due to its asymptomatic behaviour, it is commonly encountered during a dental treatment, an oral exploration or accidentally by the patient himself . Its clinical diagnosis is not always an easy task . It may resemble other conditions such as salivary gland adenoma or adenocarcinoma, and different histological features may be observed one case from another. Total surgical excision should be performed for diagnosis and is considered curative. Follow-up may be recommended to exclude future recurrencies or malignant degeneration, being these facts quite uncommon. A case of adenomatoid hyperplasia of minor salivary gland in soft palate, a rare site for this condition, is reported.
