Primary carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma of anterior commissure of the larynx

Carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) is a carcinoma originating from a primary or recurrent benign pleomorphic adenoma [1]. The most common sites of origin are major salivary gland where these represent approximately 3 –5% of all salivary gland neoplasms [1]. Due to the rarity of the disease, no level one evidence based treatment algorithm is present. The main evidence is available from retrospective institutional experiences. Surgery followed by post-operative radiotherapy is the mainstay of the treatment [1,2] .
