We report on a 66-year-old man with adenolipoma of the hard palate. The patient consulted our hospitalfor detailed examination of a palatal mass. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a well-delineated tumor in thepalate. Since CT scanning indicated no bone resorption, the tumor was resected en bloc, with the patient undergeneral anesthesia. Histopathological examination suggested adenolipoma. During 4 years 6 months of postoperativefollow-up, the patient's course has been good, without relapse.
