    Abstract:
    Carcinoma arising in pleomorphic adenoma is a rare entity. A case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma in pleomorphic adenoma occurring in the soft palate of a 40-year-old woman is reported. An intraoral excision of the tumor was performed. Histopathological examination revealed high-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma proliferated in pleomorphic adenoma with free surgical margin. The patient received adjuvant neck radiotherapy. She remains free of disease 16 months post-treatment.
