Pleomorphic adenoma with lymph-node metastases report of two cases.
Two cases of pleomorphic adenoma showing morphologically benign metastases to lymph nodes are reported. In the first case, a 26-year old woman, the lymph node metastases appeared nine years after the primary tumor. In the second case, an 8-year old boy, six years elapsed between the primary and metastatic lesion. A review of the literature of similar cases has been performed.
