Abstract
Although pleomorphic adenomas are the most common neoplasms of salivary gla nd origin, our knowledge of the etiology, growth, and recurrence patterns, and significance;of the varying histologic features of these tumors, remain s limited. We present the case of a 66-year-old man with an unusual present ation of a pleomorphic adenoma, and review the important clinical and patho logic features of this entity.
