Abstract
Pleomorphic Adenoma is the commonest neoplasm of the salivary gland. It has a characteristic biphasic pattern with epithelial-myoepithelial component and a mesenchymal component. This variably capsulated tumor is characterised by its architectural pleomorphism. Myoepithelial component varies from spindle to plasmacytoid to oncocytic where as the mesenchymal component is mucoid, myxoid or chondroid. We report a rare case or pleomorphic adenoma with palisading schwannoma like areas.
