Malignant transformation of the salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma in myoepithelial carcinoma – the report of two cases
Journal Title: Polski Przegląd Otorynolaryngologiczny - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
A multiform adenoma is the most commonly diagnosed benign tumor of the salivary glands. In the majority of patients, surgical resection of the tumor with the adequate surrounding tissue of salivary gland allows for complete recovery. A small percentage of the cases is a recurring pleomorphic adenoma. Even more rarely the diagnosis of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is made. The study presents two clinical cases of the malignant transformation of pleomorphic adenoma into the myoepithelial carcinoma. The surgical treatment and additional radiotherapy were performed in both cases.<br/><br/>
