Abstract

Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) is a rare malignant tumor arising from a primary or recurrent benign pleomorphic adenoma (PA) of the parotid gland. CXPA poses diagnostic challenges, and histological analysis remains the most reliable method for accurate diagnosis. The malignant component of CXPA can appear in a variety of forms including salivary duct carcinoma (SDC). Here, we present a case of CXPA originating from the parotid gland and discuss its clinicopathological features. This case report contributes to the limited literature on CXPA in the Libyan population.
