Epidemiology and Demographics

Causes

  • The exact causes of Pleomorphic adenoma are unknown but the tumor has been found to increase 15-20 years after radiation exposure.
  • Simian virus(SV40) may play a role in the development of Pleomorphic adenoma.[1]

Risk factors

  • Prior head and neck irradiation is a risk factor for the development of Pleomorphic adenoma.[2]
  • Environmental factors
  • Occupations like working in rubber industry, nickel industry etc.[3][4]

Classification

  • Pleomorphic adenoma can be classified on the basis of the histological appearance i.e, epithelial and stromal changes into the following subgroups.[5]
    • Subgroup 1 (30,5%) is the classical pleomorphic adenoma with a stroma content of 30-50%
    • subgroup 2 (55%) has a stroma content of 80%
    • subgroup 3 (9%) has a poor stroma content of 20-30% or less and an epithelial differentiation similar to subgroup 1
    • subgroup 4 has also a poor stroma content (6%) with a relatively monomorphic epithelial structure.
