The present paper reports a case of polymorphous adenocarcinoma superimposed on a torus palatine. A 60-year-old male patient sought dental care for a dental prosthesis. During clinical examination, a normochromic, asymptomatic nodule was observed, overlapping the palatine torus laterally to the midline on the left side, in the transition region from hard to soft palate, measuring 2 cm in diameter, rounded, softened, well-defined and with an integral surface. The patient reported that the lesion had appeared 2 months before. The procedure was an incisional biopsy, and the material was sent for histopathologic analysis, resulting in a diagnosis of polymorphous adenocarcinoma. The patient was oriented and referred to an oncology hospital. Polymorphous adenocarcinoma can reach large proportions, so we must have a careful diagnosis of this type of tumor to differentiate it from other neoplasms of different nature and behavior.
