Polymorphous Low Grade Adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is a relatively newer entity under the sub-classification of adenocarcinoma, which arises mainly from the minor salivary glands. PLGA is difficult to diagnose both clinically and histopathologically due to its indolent presentation and its morphological diversity that includes several microscopic patterns. It is an uncommon malignant neoplasm with low aggressiveness accounting for about 2% of all salivary gland tumours. We are reporting this case of PLGA which arose from the minor salivary gland over the hard palate.

Cylindroma is a rare tumour which originates from skin appendages. Cylindromas are of two types namely solitary and multiple. Malignant transformation of cylindroma is unusual and is extremely rare in solitary type. They show strong predilection for middle aged and elderly females. We report a case of a 70 year old male patient presented with nodular swelling along with surface ulceration in the right axillary region since six months, which on histopathological examination revealed a case of malignant transformation of benign solitary cylindroma. We report a rare case of malignant cylindroma arising in a patient with solitary cylindroma at an unusual site.
