pleomorphic adenoma

In addition to pleomorphic adenoma, the two are the most common tumors of the upper lip.

Although pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor of the parotid gland, it has potential to turn malignant.

Other suggestions included ameloblastoma or a benign salivary mixed tumor (also known as a pleomorphic adenoma).

The histologic differential diagnosis includes adenoid cystic carcinoma and pleomorphic adenoma.

Examples include pleomorphic adenoma and Mixed Müllerian tumor.

Microscopically, its histology can be confused with an adenoid cystic carcinoma and a pleomorphic adenoma.

Though much less likely to occur than pleomorphic adenoma, Warthin's tumor is the second most common benign parotid tumor.

Tumors arising from other tissues may also produce a cartilage-like matrix, the best known being pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary glands.

The most common of these include pleomorphic adenoma (70% of tumors, affecting predominantly females (60%)) and Warthin's tumor.

The benign tumors include ceruminous adenoma, ceruminous pleomorphic adenoma, and ceruminous syringocystadenoma papilliferum.

It is important that other tumors such as pleomorphic adenoma, basal cell adenoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, and teratoma be excluded before treatment is started.

Pleomorphic adenoma is a common benign salivary gland neoplasm characterised by neoplastic proliferation of parenchymatous glandular cells along with myoepithelial components, having a malignant potentiality.

In some cases tumors that formed in other tissues may produce a cartilage-like matrix, an example of this is the pleomorphic adenoma of the sexual reproduction salivary glands.

Matrix families of interest include the Huntington's disease gene regulatory region, nerve growth factor, nuclear respiratory factor, pleomorphic adenoma gene, zinc finger transcription factors, and an E2F-myc activator/cell cycle regulator.

But the locoregional control rate for the carcinoma pleomorphic adenoma is only 66% in the 5-year duration of the recovery time making the recurrence of the disease invariably fatal, and even the 44% of the disease-related specific cases report to high rate of mortality accounting to 87%.
