Abstract
The clinical and histological features of a canalicular adenoma occurr ing in the palatal mucosa of a 79-year-old male are described. The man agement of the case - prompt referral to a specialist centre, histolog ical confirmation of complete excision and an uneventful postoperative course - illustrates the correct procedures for what may be regarded as a cure of this neoplastic disease.
