  • Title: [A case of very late malignant degeneration of pleomorphic adenoma].
    Author: Darche V, Hustin J, Lejuste P, Robillard T, Piette E.
    Journal: Ann Otolaryngol Chir Cervicofac; 1998 Dec; 115(6):373-7. PubMed ID: 9922836.
    Abstract:
    Incomplete excision of a pleomorphic adenoma exposes to a high risk of recurrence and tumor spread, making secondary surgery more difficult or a malignant transformation with a poor vital prognosis likely. Three histological types of pleomorphic adenomas can be observed when the tumor undergoes a transformation, namely the carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma, the true malignant mixed tumor and the benign metastasizing mixed tumour.
