title: Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma of the parotid gland.
abstract: Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma of the salivary glands is a well-defined clinico-pathological entity which occurs almost exclusively in the oral cavity. Only few reports have documented it in the parotid gland. The authors report an additional case of de novo polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma of the parotid and describe the histological and immunocytochemical features of the neoplasm. The current literature is also reviewed.
