INTRODUCTION: The @entity5123 is a @entity5 of the salivary glands. Its location outside the main salivary glands defines the @entity5123 of atypical location. The aim of this study is to analyze the clinical, diagnostical and therapeutical features of this @entity5 at atypical locations through seven observations. @entity1 AND METHODS: This work is a retrospective study. It has for objective to present 7 cases of @entity5123 developed on minor salivary glands diagnosed in Otolaryngology Head and Neck surgery department in Mohammed VI University hospital, between December 2003 and December 2010. RESULTS: We had 3 cases of @entity5123 and 1 case of each soft palate, superior lip, lower eyelid and nasal septum. The sex ratio @entity1 / @entity1 was 133. The symptomatology was variable according to the location of the @entity5 . The tumoral syndrome was constant. The diagnosis of @entity5123 was suspected at the clinical stage in 3 cases of palatal location. The CT scan was performed for all @entity1 except in 2 cases of the @entity5 . We did not realize a magnetic resonance imaging nor of a fine needle aspiration to our @entity1 . The preoperative biopsy was realized to 5 @entity1 . The treatment consisted of a wide surgical excision of the @entity5 . The mean follow up of 3 years showed no signs of recurrence nor of malignant transformation. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: The @entity5123 of atypical location is rare. The clinical presentation is variable according to the @entity5 site and volume. The treatment is surgical. It is based on the early and complete excision of the @entity5 . The histo-pathological diagnosis is made. The diagnosis differential is with @entity5 arising on minor salivary glands. The prognosis is favorable. Nevertheless, regular and prolonged follow-up of the @entity1 is important to watch for complications.
