Popis: Pleomorphic adenoma is the most frequent type of benign salivary neoplasm located in the mouth and is characterized by its significant histopathological diversity. The histogenesis of the pleomorphic adenoma is uncertain; so far several studies suggest that myoepithelial cells are responsible for the variable histomorphology of this type of neoplasm. At times, stroma is the predominant element. The purpose of the present review is to analyze the results reported in the scientific literature concerning immunomarkers expressed in the different stromal elements of pleomorphic adenoma.
