Abstract :

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is an epithelial tumor of complex morphology, comprising of epithelial and myoepithelial elements arranged in a variety of patterns and surrounded by a mucopolysaccharide stroma, whereas Carcinoma ex Pleomorphic Adenoma (CXPA) is characterized by the presence of malignant transformation in pleomorphic adenoma and it is one of the rare, aggressive and poorly understood malignancies of the salivary gland. Our study is to emphasize that the histopathology is the gold standard for making the diagnosis of CXPA
