The range of microscopic features seen in salivary gland tumors can sometimes lead to misdiagnosis. In this case, a 63-year-old woman with no comorbidities was referred to a healthcare service for an evaluation of a lesion on her hard palate. The patient had a previous pathology report indicating a diagnosis of Pleomorphic Adenoma. During the extraoral examination, no abnormalities were observed. However, intraoral physical examination revealed an ulcerated lesion measuring approximately 1 cm on the left side of the hard palate. Imaging tests were performed and showed no significant changes in the region of the lesion. Given the clinical features of the lesion that raised concerns about malignancy, a review of the slides from the previous biopsy sample was requested. Upon review, the microscopic features indicated malignancy, leading to the diagnosis of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. The patient was informed about the diagnosis and subsequently referred to oncological treatment with an interdisciplinary team. This case illustrates the importance of careful review and accurate diagnosis, as the initial diagnosis of a benign lesion was revised to a malignant condition, which required a different treatment approach.
