“…The key distinguishing features involving varying combinations of epithelial and myoepithelial cells in a mucinous or stromal background in different histological subtypes of pleomorphic adenoma forms the basis of identification and the distinction from mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is equally important as the latter has a totally different management in regards to surgery and follow up. It is a slow-growing tumor and most individuals present late primarily due to increase in size and facial disfigurement [4][5][6]. These indolent large tumors are most frequently treated by facial nerve-sparing total parotidectomy but malignant transformation in an indolent tumor must be excluded with negative surgical margins [7].…”
