Abstract

Canalicular adenoma (CA) is an exceedingly uncommon and unique benign neoplasm of the salivary glands. This particular neoplasm characteristically affects the minor salivary glands located in the upper lip, buccal mucosa, and palate. It is most frequently observed in individuals of middle age or those who have reached an older age, displaying a predilection for the female gender. Clinically, it typically manifests as a painless, gradually enlarging, non-ulcerated nodule or swelling. The standard approach to managing this neoplasm involves the utilization of surgical techniques such as excision or enucleation. Remarkably, within the confines of this case report, we present the details of a rather exceptional occurrence of CA, which was encountered within the left parapharyngeal space of a young woman aged 25, thereby potentially constituting the initial documented instance of such a lesion occurring within the parapharyngeal space.

Keywords: Canalicular adenoma, mucosa, salivary gland neoplasm, parapharyngeal space
