ABSTRACT
Metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma is recognized as a subtype of pleomorphic adenoma in WHO classification 5th edition of salivary glands. The controversy pertaining to the entity is the benign features of the disease even at a metastatic site. We present a rare case of left recurrent pre-auricular swelling in a young male reported as metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma. A nineteen-year-old male presented with left preauricular swelling seven years ago which was diagnosed as pleomorphic adenoma and underwent complete excision of tumour. The tumour recurred twice - two and five years after the surgery. At the second recurrence, the level II neck dissection showed multiple encapsulated deposits of pleomorphic adenoma having similar morphology in the cervical soft tissue with no features of high-grade transformation.
