[Interdisciplinary surgical and prosthetic treatment of adenocarcinoma of the palate].
INTRODUCTION: The palatal mucosa requires careful testing prior to prosthetic treatment. Pathological changes may occur during the period of use of a dental prosthetic, especially when worn constantly. Aim of the report: We describe the case of a patient who experienced extensive changes in the mucosa of the hard palate over 12 years of dentures used.
CASE PRESENTATION: The 78-year-old female patient was referred to the Department of Otolaryngology of the Jagiellonian University Hospital in Krakow with a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the palate. In connection with the planned extensive surgery, there was indication for the use of a palatal plate with an obturator in order to close the expected gap in the palate structure. No recurrence of the tumor was seen in the period examined. Summation: Despite the extensive tumor, two small defects in the palate remained after surgery. These were effectively sealed and the patient reached the five-year survival point.
