Histopathological typing of 52 cases presented clinically with palatal swelling was performed retrospectively. The haemoatoxylene and cosin stained histological sections of related cases are retrieved from the files and re-examined microscopically. The study focused on the pathological processes involved ni these swellings. The results showed three pathological processes involved in these cases; namely, neoplastic, cystic and reactive. Of these, the neoplastic were slightly more common and comprise 38.8% of cases, tumors of minor salivary glands were more frequent, while the cystic and reactive comprise 34.3% and 26.9% respectively. Of the cystic lesions, the majority was of odontogenic origin, where as the reactive category cases of papillary hyperplasia of the palate were more frequent
