Abstract
Metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma (MPA) is very rare neoplasm. Parotid gland is 74% likely to be involved by MPA followed by minor salivary glands and submandibular glands. It is histologically benign pleomorphic adenoma that manifests local or distant metastasis. Candidiasis of parotid gland is extremely rare. We present a case of MPA of right parotid gland in a 54-year female showing metastatic deposits in ipsilateral preauricular lymph node, with candidiasis. To the best of our knowledge, no case of MPA with associated candidiasis has be reported yet.
