Cystic Change in Pleomorphic Adenoma: A Rare Entity

Pleomorphic adenomas most frequently affect the parotid gland, primarily the superficial lobe. The cystic change, which can resemble squamous cell carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, mucocele, or carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, presents a diagnostic challenge in pleomorphic adenomas. Here, we report a unique and intriguing case of cystic pleomorphic adenoma in a 41-year-old man.

Abstract

Pleomorphic adenomas most frequently affect the parotid gland, primarily the superficial lobe. The cystic change, which can resemble squamous cell carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, mucocele, or carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, presents a diagnostic challenge in pleomorphic adenomas. Here, we report a unique and intriguing case of cystic pleomorphic adenoma in a 41-year-old man.
