"Malignant transformation to carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma is uncommon (1–10%), more common in larger tumours and older patient age ¹⁵. Additional risk factors for malignancy include radiation therapy and recurrent tumours ^2,6."

warning

"Historically, pleomorphic adenomas have also been called benign mixed tumours; however, this name is now discouraged. It was previously thought that these were a form of teratoma; however, it is now clear that the neoplasm forms epithelial and myoepithelial cells ¹."

Commas

suggestion

"Pleomorphic adenomas of the salivary glands, also known as benign mixed tumours (see below), are the most common salivary gland tumours. On imaging, they commonly present as well-circumscribed, rounded masses, most commonly located within the parotid gland, hypoechoic on ultrasound, high signal on T2WI, and with homogeneous enhancement on MRI."

Line 1:209 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

Line 3:206 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"As the name suggests, pleomorphic adenomas are composed of a mixture of several tissues. They contain both epithelial and myoepithelial (mesenchymal) tissues, with mixed histology. They appear encapsulated and well-circumscribed; however, the pseudocapsule is delicate and incomplete, with microscopic extensions beyond it, accounting for the high risk of recurrence when these tumours are enucleated (see below) ^5,6."

"FDG-PET may show some uptake; SUV>3 in 25% of cases ¹¹."
