|---|---|
| Diagnosis in short | |
| LM DDx | salivary duct carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, pleomorphic adenoma |

Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, abbreviated ca ex PA, is a rare malignant salivary gland tumour that arise from a pleomorphic adenoma.
General
Definition:
- Malignancy arising from a pleomorphic adenoma.[1]
Diagnosis (either 1 or 2):
- History of a pleomorphic adenoma at the same site.
- Features of a pleomorphic adenoma and a carcinoma.
Epidemiology:
- Rare.
- Usually a poor prognosis.[1]
Gross
- Usually mass lesion - partoid gland.[1]
Microscopic
Features:
- Cells with cytologic features of malignancy - key feature.
- Architecture (any of the following):
- Glands.
- Nests.
- Single cells (may be subtle).
Architectural patterns:
- Ductal carcinoma NOS (arising from ductal cells) - most common pattern for Ca ex PA.
- Myoepithelial carcinoma NOS (arising from myoepithelial cells).
- "Named carcinoma":
- Salivary duct carcinoma - second most common pattern for Ca ex PA.
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
- Adenoid cystic carcinoma.
Note:
- Often adenocarcinoma-like.
- Myoepithelial cells may be clear cells.
DDx:
Subclassification
Extent of invasion:[2]
- Non-invasive AKA intracapsular AKA in situ.
- Minimally invasive <=1.5 mm beyond the capsule.
- Widely invasive >1.5 mm beyond the capsule.
