Rarely, a malignant tumor may arise within this tumor, a phenomenon known as carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma. This has been reported to occur in 2-7% of cases.

Pleomorphic adenoma arising de novo in the parapharyngeal space is of rare occurrence. High index of suspicion and an adequate clearance of the tumour with a cuff of surrounding dispensable normal tissues is the key to successful treatment of such tumours.

OBJECTIVES: Capsular ruptures play a major role in recurrences of parotid pleomorphic adenomas. ... Hypocellular (stroma rich) pleomorphic adenoma was reported in 56%, hypercellular pleomorphic adenoma was reported in 29% and "classic" in 15%. Thinness of capsule was significantly related to hypocellularity.

RESULTS: Neural cell adhesion molecule was expressed in all cases of pleomorphic adenoma, strongly labelling the luminal cells of the double-layered ductform structures. This expression was weaker in neoplastic myoepithelial cells and progressively diminished at a distance from the luminal cells.

However, the most common parotid gland tumor is a pleomorphic adenoma, and these represent 70-80% of all benign parotid tumors. Over 84% of pleomorphic adenomas occur in the parotid gland, 8% occur in the submandibular gland, and 6.4% occur in the minor salivary glands.
