On reviewing extensive literature on intranuclear cytoplasmic inclusions, one finds that the entity is almost synonymous with papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. But over the years, normal tissue aspirates as well as aspirates from many benign and malignant tumors have revealed the presence of these vacuoles. As more and more aspirations of cervical region are being done, it is becoming evident that intranuclear vacuoles are of decreasing specificity for papillary carcinoma of thyroid. This case is probably the first case report of intranuclear vacuoles from a pleomorphic adenoma of salivary gland and is being reported here for this unusual finding.
