Article Synopsis
- Carcinoma-ex-Pleomorphic Adenoma (CXPA) is a rare malignant tumor that develops from a pre-existing benign Pleomorphic Adenoma, often affecting minor salivary glands like the palate, and has a significant risk of metastasis.
- A 52-year-old man had a painless, progressively enlarging palatal mass for seven years, which upon examination was found to be non-tender, firm, and adhered to underlying tissues without any prior medical trauma.
- Pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of CXPA, revealing both benign pleomorphic adenoma and malignant features in the same tumor sample, emphasizing the importance of histopathological evaluation for accurate diagnosis.
