Metastasizing Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Tongue: A Case Report
Authors
Abstract:
A 19-year-old girl referred to our clinic complaining of a painless lump on the left side of her tongue. The patient had no history of dysphagia, lingual paresthesia or bleeding. Physical examination revealed the presence of multiple enlarged lymph nodes on the left side of her neck. Histopathology of lingual mass and lymph nodes showed pleomorphic adenoma. To our knowledge, this is the first case of pleomorphic adenoma of the tongue with metastasis to the cervical nodes.

OBJECTIVE To address questions about the etiology, behavior, optimal treatment, and prognosis of metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma (MPA), we undertook a review of the literature (1953-2005) and constructed a virtual series of all identified cases of MPA, metastatic lesions that are very occasionally identified in patients with a history of pleomorphic salivary adenoma and, on detailed pathologi...

Background: Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is an exceedingly rare neoplasm of the submandibular gland with an overall poor prognosis. Metastatic deposits of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma are either composed exclusively of malignant elements or contain mixed benign and malignant components.
