Multiple Parotid Masses: A Rare Case of De Novo Monomorphic and Pleomorphic Adenomas in a Patient with Myotonic Dystrophy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objective/background. This is a case presentation of a primary multifocal monomorphic and pleomorphic adenoma, with possible association with myotonic dystrophy. Methods/presentation. The patient was a 36-year old woman with myotonic dystrophy with multiple left parotid masses. Biopsy and final pathology demonstrated discrete de novo pleomorphic and monomorphic adenomas. Conclusions/impact. There is increasing investigation into association between myotonic dystrophy and neoplasia, including salivary gland tumors. Here we present a patient with multiple parotid neoplasms and discuss this unique case in regards to the risk of tumors in patients with muscular dystrophy.

متن کاملBasal Cell Adenocarcinoma Ex Pleomorphic Adenoma
Basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCAC), a salivary gland tumor, has been theorized to originate either from monomorphic adenomas undergoing a malignant transformation or to arise de novo. Here we present the first case report of a BCAC tumor that arose within a pleomorphic adenoma.
