Abstract
Carcinosarcoma is an aggressive, biphasic high grade malignant neoplasm. Carcinosarcoma of salivary gland is an extremely infrequent neoplasm and only less than 80 cases were reported in the literature since the original description by Kirklin et al in 1951. We report a case of Carcinosarcoma ex pleomorphic adenoma in deep lobe of parotid in a 64 year old lady. This case is reported because of the rarity of carcinosarcoma in salivary gland, and to make aware of the unusual monophasic sarcomatous pattern of tumor recurrence, else an erroneous diagnosis of second malignancy may be made.
