Abstract

Upper lip is a very important esthetic subunit of the face that contributes to facial beauty. It also aids in functions like mastication and phonation. However, the muscular, the adipose and the glandular components predispose it to numerous pathologies. This paper is intended to emphasize on the fact that the documented cases of pleomorphic adenoma of the upper lip arising from the minor salivary glands are increasing. Hence, whenever an oral and maxillofacial surgeon encounters an upper lip swelling, it is now a must to consider pleomorphic adenoma as one of the probably entities.
