Abstract
Objective: To describe a rare case of monomorphic adenoma of the minor salivary gland. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: A 50-year-old patient presented with a painless swelling of 2-3 years duration in the chin region, appearing large permeative destruction lesion involving symphysis-menti and adjacent bodies of mandible with soft tissue component infiltrating into right sublingual and sub-mental space in MRI imaging. Histological findings were suggestive of a monomorphic adenoma. Treatment: A complete surgical enucleation of the lobular tumor with an additional zone of adjacent normal tissue was performed. No recurrence was observed after a 6-month follow-up. Conclusion: This case showed the possibility of minor salivary gland tumors and highlighted the need to consider them when making a differential diagnosis of swellings located in the sub-mental region.
