Salivary duct carcinoma is a highly malignant salivary gland tumor with aggressive clinical behavior that has similar histological features with invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. Malignant salivary gland tumors are rarely derived from preexisting pleomorphic adenoma (PA). Carcinoma ex PA is defined as a malignant epithelial neoplasm arising in association with a primary or recurrent PA and it accounts for approximately 2-5% of all PAs. Most of these tumors are located in the major salivary glands, particularly in the parotid gland. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy is widely used as a diagnostic tool for the initial evaluation of parotid gland masses. The cytologic appearance of most PAs are characteristic. Although it is not difficult to recognize a PA, malignant tumors originating from PA may present a diagnostic problem. We report here a case of salivary ductal carcinoma ex PA of the parotid gland diagnosed by FNA biopsy and discuss the possible problems in diagnosis.Keywords: Adenoma, pleomorphic; salivary gland neoplasms; biopsy, fine-needleTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2008, 28:95-99
