Abstract
Introduction: Pleomorphic adenoma is a mixed tumor consisting of differentiation of epithelial and mesenchymal cells. They are the most common benign tumors encountered at the salivary glands. Several flap options have been described for the reconstruction of palate. Case Report: A 48-year-old male patient was admitted to our outpatient clinic with a complaint of a mass at the palate. The mass was extending from the oral cavity to the nasal cavity. Hemi-maxillectomy was applied and the reconstruction was achieved using a reverse flow unilateral angular artery-based fasciocutaneous flap. Conclusion: Pleomorphic adenoma should be kept in mind when evaluating the lesions of hard palate. Angular artery-based fasciocutaneous flap is a reliable method for hard palate reconstruction
