Canalicular adenoma is a rare salivary gland tumour.
General
- Exclusively oral cavity.
Clinical:
- Mass lesion.[1]
Gross
- Classically upper lip - may be buccal mucosa or palate.

- In one large series of 67 cases:[1]
- Upper lip 69% (47/67).
- Buccal mucosa 25% (17/67).
- Palate 6% (4/67).

Features:[1]
- Cords of tumour ("canals") with beading - characteristic.
- Cystic spaces/tubules.
- Intraluminal squamous balls - common (~60% of cases).
