Mini review on Malignant Transformation of Benign Parotid Gland Tumors |Biomedgrid

The majority of parotid gland tumors is benign with a vast histologic diversity. But, malignant transformation, even though rare, can occur for almost each histological type. Multiple predictive factors are determined as well as the histologic findings corresponding to the transformation. Through this mini review, we expose the malignant potential of each histological type of benign parotid gland tumors, describing the incidence and the forms of the transformation.
