“…Brandon et al, reported a rare case of metastasis of Parotid Adenocarcinoma to breast. 10 The patient underwent wide local excision of the lesion with clear tumour margins. Due to cutaneous involvement of the lesion, the skin had to be reconstructed by harvesting the Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Muscle Flap (PMMC) for esthetic purposes.…”

<p class="abstract">Cutaneous manifestations of adenocarcinoma is a very rare entity. The patient reported to our institute with a complain of swelling on right parotid region that would bleed profusely merely on palpation. The hematological values revealed very low Hemoglobin, RBC and PCV counts indicating severe hemolytic anemia. The patient had palpable lymph nodes of level I and IIA which were enlarged. The patient underwent excision of the lesion along with modified radical neck dissection and reconstruction of the skin defect using pectoralis major myocutaneous flap.</p>

“…Primary salivary gland malignancies (SGMs) account for only 5% of all head and neck cancers, with the World Health Organization (WHO) describing 11 benign and 22 malignant subtypes of salivary gland tumors [ 1 ]. Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) constitutes about 12% of all SGMs, with the majority of cases arising from the parotid gland (67%) [ 2 ].…”

“…Histopathologically, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma are the most frequently encountered malignant components of CXPA with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) being a rare finding [ 3 , 4 ]. Metastatic SGMs are an uncommon finding with only 20% of parotid gland malignancies showing metastatic potential [ 1 ]. According to Ali et al, lungs account for 49%, bones for 40%, and the brain for 7% of the total metastasis reported in a study.…”

Cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) being the most common type. Even though SCC is the major type of cancer found in the head and neck region, the salivary glands contribute to about 1/20 cases, of which 1/10 are said to be carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) type, and the parotid gland is found to be the most common origin of such cases. Although it usually arises later in life, it can grow rapidly, with local symptoms being late findings, if any. Even though fine needle aspiration cytology has low sensitivity for diagnosing such cancer, multiple/repeated biopsies can increase the yield and the accuracy of the test. Surgical resection is the main choice for treatment with postoperative radiation for select cases. Our case presented with CXPA with distant metastasis to multiple sites.

Parotid Gland Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report

Adenocarcinoma no otherwise specified (NOS) and polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA), are malignant tumors of the salivary glands. Both types of malignant tumors have the potential for recurrence and distant metastases. Rare cases of recurrence and metastases lead to the absence of standardized systemic therapy for salivary gland cancer. This case report aims to expand the literature regarding recurrence and distant metastases of parotid gland adenocarcinoma. We report the case of a 54-year-old woman who complained of a recurrent lump in the right mandibular area who had previously undergone chemoradiotherapy, right parothyrodectomy, and left mastectomy. Histopathological examination of the biopsies that were performed gave different results, namely adenocarcinoma and PLGA.
