[Metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma].
A case of metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma is reported with a review of the literature. It's a enigmatic lesion of the parotid gland in with both the primary tumor and metastasis were composed of benign pleomorphic structures. We think that some intra or extra cellular factors mut be discovered to recognize the malignant potential of this tumors and further to understand all cancerous pathology.
