Multiple Metastasizing Pleomorphic Adenomas of the Lung

چکیده
A 40-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with abnormal findings on chest X-ray. Her medical history was remarkable in that she had presented with a pleomorphic adenoma in the right parotid gland treated by surgical removal approximately 12 years previously. Chest computed tomography showed well-defined non-calcified nodules of the bilateral lobes, so she underwent segmentectomy of the right upper lobe and middle lobe. The histopathological diagnosis was metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma of the lung, a rare entity.

Pleomorphic adenomas (benign mixed tumors) are the most common tumors of glandular origin in the head and neck and are one of the few benign neoplasms that can undergo malignant transformation.(1) Mixed tumors that are seemingly benign at the microscopic level but metastasize have been termed metastasizing mixed tumors (MZMTs).

متن کاملUnusual Metastases from a Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Parotid Gland: A Case and Literature’s Review
Background: Pleomorphic adenoma constitutes the most common benign parotid gland tumor. Local recurrence after surgery has been described in 1% 5% of cases, and malignant evolution in 2% 9% of cases. Metastasizing pleomorphic adenomas has rarely been reported. No histologic or molecular parameters exist at the present time that could predict the development of metastasis in these neoplasms. Met...
متن کاملMetastasizing pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland
Salivary gland tumours are estimated to represent approximately 3% of all head and neck tumours. About 70-80% of these neoplasms occur in the major salivary glands, with the parotid gland being the most commonly affected site. The metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma (MPA) has histological characteristics of pleomorphic adenoma, but it has the capacity to generate local recurrences and distant met...
