Sixty-nine salivary gland pleomorphic adenomas were fully karyotyped by G-banding including 40 tumors previously reported. The cytogenetic results allowed to distinguish between three major chromosomal subgroups characterized by either an apparently normal karyotype or by rearrangements of chromosome 8q12 or by rearrangements of chromosome 12q14-15. Significant correlations of these karyotypic groups with the age of the patients and histologic subgroups of the pleomorphic adenomas were found. Furthermore, our analysis revealed that the three main cytogenetic subgroups showed an uneven geographical distribution. Based on these results we have concluded that the cytogenetic groups represent different etiologic entities.

To analyze the clinical features of nasal pleomorphic adenoma and to share clinical insights into its diagnosis and treatment. This was a case series study. Clinical data of 12 patients with nasal pleomorphic adenoma, confirmed by histopathology, admitted to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from 2014 to 2023, were retrospectively analyzed.

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA), the most prevalent salivary gland tumor, exhibits a diverse histological spectrum characterized by epithelial, myoepithelial, and mesenchymal patterns, and secretory products. However, a subset of PAs presents microscopic features suggestive of malignancy, leading to challenging and potentially significant diagnostic pitfalls. A comprehensive retrospective analysis was conducted on the Salivary Gland Tumor Registry, compiled by the authors.
