Description
Armin Khaleghi and co-authors present a 2026 study of lesions of the palate in an Iranian group over twenty four years. The palate has complex anatomy and can host growths from skin, gland, and soft tissue lines. It is rarely studied as a site on its own.
The team read near three hundred palate biopsies from a dental school archive in Tehran. Skin type lesions formed the largest group, then gland lesions, then soft tissue ones. One benign gland tumor was the most common single call. Over a quarter of lesions were cancers, led by one skin cancer type. Cancer cases in skin lines came at older ages and larger sizes. Most lesions sat at the back of the palate, a zone often missed in exams.
