Abstract

Malignant change arising in pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary glands is uncommon, with a reported incidence of 2–10 per cent.

Only one case where a pleomorphic adenoma became a clear cell carcinoma appears to have been published in the English literature. An additional case of clear cell carcinoma arising in pleomorphic adenoma of a minor salivary gland is reported and the relevant literature discussed.
