Abstract
Carcinoma in pleomorphic adenoma (CPA) is comparatively rare, and is reported to form from 2 to 10% of the pleomorphic adenomas of salivary glands. Recently, we experienced one CPA occurring in the right parotid gland of a 59-year-old man. The tumor was extirpated completely together with a portion of the superficial lobe of parotid gland. The prognosis is quite good and no recurrence is noted after 3 years follow up. Due to its high frequency of recurrence, further close observation is recommended.
