Metastasizing mixed tumor of the parotid gland: a rare tumor with unusually rapid progression in a cardiac transplant recipient.
Modern Pathology 1998 November
We report the case of a 69-year-old man who had a mixed tumor (pleomorphic adenoma) removed from his parotid gland 3 years after orthotopic heart transplantation. Two years later, he presented with widely metastatic mixed tumor, which resulted in his death within 6 months. Metastatic mixed tumor is histologically identical to a benign mixed tumor, but it inexplicably metastasizes. Such tumors are rare and have not been reported to date in a transplant recipient. This case illustrates the rapid and aggressive course that malignancies can follow in an immunosuppressed population. Mixed tumors are common salivary neoplasms, so transplant recipients should be carefully followed after resection for evidence of metastatic spread.
