Abstrakt: The canalicular adenoma is an uncommon, benign salivary gland tumour that most frequently occurs in the upper lip. Although the incidence of multifocal epithelial tumours of the minor salivary is very low, canalicular adenoma sometimes present as a multifocal lesion. We present a case of multifocal canalicular adenomas of upper lip in a woman aged 68 years and discuss their features, emphasising diagnosis, clinical behaviour, treatment, histological and immunohistochemical aspects.
