Abstrakt: Canalicular-like pleomorphic adenomas are a relatively recently described entity, that possess features of both canalicular adenomas and pleomorphic adenomas. The presence of unusual HMGA2 -fusion partners (most commonly HMGA2::WIF1 gene fusions) has established canalicular-like pleomorphic adenoma as a distinct entity. The use of intraoperative frozen section analysis and surrogate HMGA2 IHC are 2 tools that can provide the surgical team with valuable insight into intraoperative decision making and final classification of rare tumors of the parotid gland, respectively. We present a case of canalicular-like pleomorphic adenoma and characterize its appearance on frozen section analysis. HMGA2 IHC staining was retroactively performed, assisting in the confirmation of the tumor subtype.
