Abstract
Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma is an unusual tumor that has bee n described as occurring in the minor salivary glands, particularly of the palate. To our knowledge, there is only one previous report that has documented the occurrence of this type of lesion in the major sali vary glands. We describe an elderly patient with polymorphous low-grad e adenocarcinoma arising in the parotid gland that was originally diag nosed as carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma.
