title: Chronic sialadenitis with pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid: coincidental or causal?
abstract: A 12-year-old boy with a pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid is reported. The excised gland specimen also showed evidence of chronic sialadenitis. The co-existence of these two entities has not been previously reported in the literature surveyed by us. The authors feel that the two conditions may have a common underlying etiology.
