An extensive nodular lesion involving hard palate and nasal turbinate

      A 38-year-old man was referred to our institute for the examination of asymptomatic swelling on the right posterolateral aspect of the hard palate. The patient noticed the swelling 2 months before when it increased to its present size and was perceived during tongue movement. The patient's medical, social, and dental history were nonsignificant. To the best of his knowledge, he was not allergic to any medication and did not undergo any prior surgery. He did not consume tobacco products or have a history of any parafunctional habit or trauma.
