[Histopathological considerations on 8 cases of mixed tumors or pleiomorphic adenomas of the salivary glands].

In view of the problems sometimes presented in diagnosing mixed tumours or pleomorphous adenomas of the salivary glands, the histopathological pictures of eight personal cases are considered. The epithelial component is found in solid masses, or arranged in cords or has an adenomatous appearance. Two cases presented a cylindromatous-like appearance which called for greater diagnostic attention and led to a more attentive postoperative clinical control.
