Abstract
Pleomorphic adenoma of a buccal or molar minor salivary gland, which lies on the external aspect of buccinator, has not been reported previously. We report a case of a pleomorphic adenoma apparently arising from such a gland. Histologically there was marked cystic degeneration producing an apparently empty lumen surrounded by an encapsulated cellular mass. While the final diagnosis was pleomorphic adenoma, there were a number of features of myoepithelioma and the differences between these entities are discussed.
