Abstract
Palatal swellings can at times be a challenging task for a clini cian to diagnose. A mass or swelling of the palate can result from developmental, inflammatory, reactive or a neoplastic process. In differential diagnosis, swellings of odontogenic origin (cyst or tumor) must be considered because they are very common. This article reviews various common palatal swellings, their clinical presentation, differential diagnosis and management aspects.
KEYWORDS:
