A well-circumscribed lobulated tumor on the hard palatal mucosa in a child

A 9-year-old Caucasian female presented with a non-tender, slow growing mass on the right hard and soft palate, measuring 2.0 × 1.5 cm. The patient was otherwise healthy. On examination, the lesion presented as a well-circumscribed, soft tissue tumor with a lobulated appearance covered by normal-appearing oral mucosa (Figure 1). There was no ulceration and no induration. Adjacent teeth were vital, and a source of infection was not identified. There was no palpable lymphadenopathy. Computed tomography images showed that there was no bone erosion or tooth resorption.
