title: Pleomorphic adenoma and myotonic dystrophy: an association?
abstract: To date there are only two recorded cases of patients with coexistent pleomorphic adenoma and myotonic dystrophy in the literature. We present two further cases, describe the general features of myotonic dystrophy and discuss the theory of a direct association between these two conditions.
