  • Title: Carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma of parotid gland presenting as a gigantic cervicofacial mass.
    Author: Mehra B, Ghoshal S, Dubhashi SP, Fulmali A.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2024 Jul 01; 17(7):. PubMed ID: 38955382.
    Abstract:
    When neglected for a long time, salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma (PA) can attain a considerable size, increasing the patient's morbidity along with the risk of malignant transformation. Very few case reports are available describing PA of the parotid glands presenting as a large cervicofacial mass. We report a case of epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma -a rare subtype of carcinoma ex-PA (Ca-Ex-PA) of non-luminal differentiation, that developed over a long period in a primary PA of the parotid gland and presented as a giant cervicofacial mass.
