Overview

The exact pathogenesis of pleomorphic adenoma is not fully understood. Chromosomal abnormalities involving 8q12 and 12q15 have been described. The gross features of pleomorphic adenoma are firm, well demarcated, encapsulated, and mobile. On microscopic histopathology they are a mixture of both epithelial cells and stromal matrix. The stromal matrix can be either hyaline, cartilaginous, myxoid. The epithelial components can be arranged into clumps, sheets or interlacing strands. On immunohistology these tumors are positive for S-100, GFAP, actin, keratin.

Gross Pathology

The gross pathological features of Pleomorphic adenoma are as follows[3]:

  • Firm
  • Mobile
  • Well demarcated
  • Encapsulated(mostly, but the Myxoid and Stroma rich subtype sometimes show focal absences of capsule)
  • Tan-white in appearance




Microscopic Pathology

Pleomorphic adenoma has a highly variable appearance on microscopy, hence the name given. On microscopic histopathological analysis, the characteristic findings of pleomorphic adenoma are:[4]

On immunohistochemical analysis, the positive stains of pleomorphic ademona include:
