Pleomorphic adenoma is benign tumor of the salivary glands. It is the most common neoplazm both major and minor salivary glands. Only in 1% of cases pleomorphic adenoma occur in the sinonasal cavities. The histopalogical wiew of pleomorphic adenomas originating from small salivary glands is different in higher cellularity and lower stromal component than those from major salivary glands. It is a benign tumor but it should be treated as a clinically uncertain. Malignant transformation of pleomorphic adenoma can occur in 2-10% of cases, The aim of this study was to present he case of 37-year-old patient with giant pleomorphic adenoma of the sinonasal cavities causing extensive destruction of sinuses and orbits walls.

ABSTRACT Pleomorphic adenoma is a common, benign tumor arising from the major salivary glands, most commonly from the parotid gland. In addition, they may also occur in the minor salivary glands of the hard and soft palate. Intranasal pleomorphic adenomas are unusual and may be misdiagnosed because they have greater myoepithelial cellularity and fewer myxoid stromata compared to those elsewhere. We report a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the nasal cavity arising from the nasal septum.

Mammary mixed tumours are the most frequent neoplasias in female dogs. In humans, mixed tumours are frequently found in the salivary glands and are known as pleomorphic adenomas. In addition to their histomorphologic similarities, mixed tumours and pleomorphic adenomas have the potential to become malignant and give rise to carcinomas in mixed tumours and carcinomas ex-pleomorphic adenoma, respectively. The factors associated with malignant transformation are still poorly known in the case of canine mixed tumours. However, this form of neoplasia tends to be associated with a better prognosis than other malignant histological types. This paper discusses the main features associated with female canine mammary mixed tumours.

ABSTRACT Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of the salivary glands and has both epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. It most commonly arises from the parotid or submandibular glands. Rarely, it arises from the minor salivary glands. We report here a case of pleomorphic adenoma arising from the soft palate and both sides of anterior tonsillar pillars in a 75-year-old man. This patient was presenting painless slow growing large swelling in the soft palate over 20 years causing mechanical obstruction of airway and food. The entire tumor mass was excised along with overlying mucosa. How to cite this article Swain SK, Sahu MC, Tripathy R.

ABSTRACT Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor arising from major salivary glands and also has been reported in salivary glands of palate rarely in nasopharynx, oropharynx and larynx and lacrimal glands. We report a case pleomorphic adenoma of nasal septum and discuss the clinical features, management along with review of literature. How to cite this article Patil VM, Patil RM, Kushtagi AV.

Pleomorphic adenoma is benign tumor of the salivary glands. It is the most common neoplasm occurring in salivary glands. Although it is a benign tumor, it should be treated as a clinically uncertain. In about half of the cases a blurred boundary between the tumor tissue and the parotid parenchyma can be observed. This tumor metastasize distant, even without malignant transformation. Malignant transformation of adenoma observed in 3-5% of cases. The aim of this study was to present the case of 75-year-old patient with recurrent mixed tumor spreading by continuity to the cranial cavity.

A multiform adenoma is the most commonly diagnosed benign tumor of the salivary glands. In the majority of patients, surgical resection of the tumor with the adequate surrounding tissue of salivary gland allows for complete recovery. A small percentage of the cases is a recurring pleomorphic adenoma. Even more rarely the diagnosis of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is made. The study presents two clinical cases of the malignant transformation of pleomorphic adenoma into the myoepithelial carcinoma. The surgical treatment and additional radiotherapy were performed in both cases.

AbstractPleomorphic adenomas arising from sites other than the major or minor salivary glands are uncommon. We describe a case of pleomorphic adenoma in the subcutaneous tissue of the nasomaxillary crease. An identical tumour was previously excised from the right nasal cavity. The possible aetiology of these heterotopic salivary gland tumours is discussed.

AbstractDespite the abundance of minor salivary glands within the larynx, pleomorphic adenomas are rarely found. It is therefore not surprising that there are few reports of malignant mixed tumours in this site. We describe a case of carcinoma arising in a pleomorphic adenoma of the epiglottis which, to our knowledge, has not been described previously.The patient underwent a horizontal partial laryngectomy and functional neck dissection and is well one year post-operatively. We feel this represents a suitable approach to treatment for this rare tumour.
