Pleomorphic adenoma, abbreviated PA, is a very common benign salivary gland tumour.
It is also known as benign mixed tumour.[1][2]
General
Features:
- Very common - approx. 60% of parotid gland tumours.[3]
- May transform into a malignant tumour.
- Other benign salivary gland tumours do not do this.
- Only benign childhood salivary gland tumour of significance.
Weinreb's dictums
- Most common salivary tumour in all age groups.
- Seen in all sites (unlike other benign tumours).
- Recurrence and malignancy risk (unlike other benign salivary gland tumours).
- Any part of a tumour that looks like PA makes it a PA.
Gross
- May have cartilaginous appearance.
- Typically well-circumscribed.
Image:
Microscopic
Features:[3]
- Proliferation of myoepithelium and epithelium (ductal cells) in mesenchymal stroma.
- Cells in ducts = epithelial.
- Cells not in ducts = myoepithelial.[4]
- Mesenchymal stroma - important feature.
Notes:
- Mesenchymal stroma not required for diagnosis -- if >5% ducts.[4]
- No chondroid stroma and <5% ductal cells = myoepithelioma.
- Look for, i.e. rule-out, poorly differentiated carcinoma: carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma.
Memory device: MEC = myoepithelium, epithelium, chondromyxoid stroma.
DDx:
- Myoepithelioma.
- Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma.
- Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma.
- Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma.
- Adenoid cystic carcinoma.
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma - occasionally.[5]

Left Partial Parotid, Partial Parotidectomy: - Pleomorphic adenoma. - Three benign lymph nodes. - NEGATIVE for malignancy.
Block letters
PAROTID GLAND MASS, RIGHT, EXCISION: - PLEOMORPHIC ADENOMA. - FOUR BENIGN LYMPH NODES. - NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
Note:
- Complete excision is often elusive; stating "completely excised" on a surgical pathology report is unwise.[4]
Micro
The sections show a lesion with spindled (myoepithelial) cells and an epithelial component, on a background of a chondromyxoid stroma. The lesion is encapsulated by a thin layer of fibrous tissue. No nuclear atypia is apparent. Mitotic activity is not identified.
Unremarkable parotid gland and lymph nodes are present.
Alternate
The sections show a lesion with spindled (myoepithelial) cells and an epithelial component, on a background of a myxoid stroma. The lesion is mostly encapsulated by a thin layer of fibrous tissue. A small focus of macrophages is present. Significant nuclear atypia is not identified. Mitotic activity is not apparent. Unremarkable parotid gland and a morphologically benign lymph node are present. Ink is seen on the tumour.
Biopsy
The sections show a lesion with spindled (myoepithelial) cells and an epithelial component, on a background of a chondromyxoid stroma. No nuclear atypia is apparent. Mitotic activity is not identified.
The tumour stains as follows: POSITIVE: CK7, S-100, SMA, GFAP (patchy). NEGATIVE: (none). PROLIFERATION (Ki-67): <2%.
