Article Abstract
A 60-year-old Japanese woman presented with a palatal pleomorphic adenoma measuring 5 cm in size. In addition to impairments during the oral preparatory and oral transport phases, dysphagia with nasopharyngeal closure disorder was observed in the pharyngeal phase. After resection of the tumor, dysphagia resolved, and the patient was immediately able to eat a standard meal. A videofluoroscopic swallowing study confirmed improvement in the movement of the soft palate compared with the pre-operative condition.

Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a salivary gland carcinoma characterized by the presence of clear and eosinophilic cells within a hyalinized stroma and the EWSR1 rearrangement. Aiming to identify prognostic factors and establish a grading system, we herein conducted a detailed clinicopathology review of a large retrospective cohort of 87 HCCCs from 7 tertiary centers. Most HCCCs (91%) originated from minor salivary glands, although major salivary glands were affected in 8%.
