Sialadenoma Papilliferum : Clinical Misdiagnosis with a Histological Decree

Abstract EN

Sialadenoma papilliferum is a rare salivary gland tumor clinically resembling papilloma originating probably from the excretory duct.

It is characterized by a biphasic growth pattern of exophytic squamous component and endophytic glandular component.

We report a rare case of sialadenoma papilliferum in the floor of the mouth with epithelial dysplasia with pertinent review of literature.

The present case highlights the importance of keeping sialadenoma papilliferum as a differential diagnosis of exophytic papilliferous oral lesions and the need to explore the etiology and malignant potential of the tumor.
