Abstract

This case report describes a unique palatal tumor with features of a dermal neoplasm. Microscopically, the lesion appeared similar to a trichoepithelioma and trichoadenoma. Light microscopic and immunohistochemical studies were performed to arrive at the final diagnosis. The lesion arose from the surface epithelium and had features of a dermal tumor. The case report describes a unique benign palatal neoplasm.
