Graphical Abstract

Cases of metaplastic pleomorphic adenoma can be diagnostically challenging. Many of these cases fall into the Milan system's SUMP category, and some may be misdiagnosed. The author shows a case of pleomorphic adenoma with extensive squamous and mucinous metaplasia and a novel MALAT1::PLAG1 fusion.
