What are palatal tumors?

Also known as: tumors of the palate, salivary gland tumors.

The palate is another word for the roof of the mouth. When abnormal growths of cells known as tumors impact the palate, these are commonly known as palatal tumors. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
