They are more commonly found in men in the sixth and seventh decade of life. There is a strong and synergistic association with tobacco smoking and alcohol abuse. Due to location of the uvula in the midline of the soft palate, there is a higher incidence of bilateral and contralateral lymph node metastasis. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice.
