Overview
The exact pathogenesis of pleomorphic adenoma is not fully understood. Chromosomal abnormalities involving 8q12 and 12q15 have been described. The gross features of pleomorphic adenoma are firm, well demarcated, encapsulated, and mobile. On microscopic histopathology they are a mixture of both epithelial cells and stromal matrix. The stromal matrix can be either hyaline, cartilaginous, myxoid. The epithelial components can be arranged into clumps, sheets or interlacing strands. On immunohistology these tumors are positive for S-100, GFAP, actin, keratin.
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- The exact pathogenesis of pleomorphic adenoma is not completely understood.
Genetics
- PLAG1 and HMGA2 chromosomal rearrangments are specific to pleomorphic adenoma.[1]
- Some clonal chromosomal abnormalities involving 8q12 and 12q15 have been noted.[2]
Gross Pathology
The gross pathological features of Pleomorphic adenoma are as follows[3]:
- Firm
- Mobile
- Well demarcated
- Encapsulated(mostly, but the Myxoid and Stroma rich subtype sometimes show focal absences of capsule)
- Tan-white in appearance
Microscopic Pathology
Pleomorphic adenoma has a highly variable appearance on microscopy, hence the name given. On microscopic histopathological analysis, the characteristic findings of pleomorphic adenoma are:[4]
- The tumor is enclosed by a fibrous capsule of which may vary in thickness.
- Stromal matrix mixed with polygonal epithelial and spindle-shaped myoepithelial cells constitutes majority of the tumor histopathology.
- Depending upon the nature of the stroma adenomas can be:
- Based upon which element predominates pleomorphic adenoma can be:
- Cellular(either epithelial or myoepithelial cell rich)
- Stroma-rich
- Mixed type or classic
- Epithelial components are usually of polygonal,spindle, or stellate shaped cells which may be arranged into various patterns:[5]
- Sheets
- Clumps
- Interlacing strands.
- Duct-like structures
- The ducts and tubules that are present in pleomorphic adenoma consists of two cell types:[5]
- An outer myoepithelial layer
- Inner cuboidal epithelial cell layer
- This particular outer myoepithelial cell layer is the one that blends into the surrounding stroma which contains scattered or clumped myoepithelial element cells.[5]
- Areas of squamous metaplasia and epithelial pearls are also seen.
On immunohistochemical analysis, the positive stains of pleomorphic ademona include:
- Positive S-100 protein[6]
- Positive GFAP mainly in myxomatous and early chondromatous differentiation.[7]
- Keratin[8]
- Actin
- Myosin
- BMP-6 protein overexpression.[9]
