A salivary gland issue would NOT be found in which location?

MINOR SALIVARY GLANDS are found throughout the oral mucosa EXCEPT in the HARD PALATE (anterior portion) and the GINGIVA. They are abundant in: buccal mucosa, lips (especially upper and lower lip), soft palate, tongue, floor of mouth. The HARD PALATE (particularly the anterior hard palate) has minimal minor salivary glands. Therefore, a MUCOCELE (which occurs in minor salivary glands) is NOT typically found in the hard palate — it would be seen in the lower lip, buccal mucosa, floor of mouth. A is correct.
