A Case of a Coexisting Carcinosarcoma Ex Pleomorphic Adenoma With Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis in the Parotid Gland
Carcinosarcoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is a rare malignant neoplasm, with most cases reported in the parotid gland. We herein report a case of a 75-year-old male referred to our hospital with a long-standing right parotid lesion that was treated in an outside hospital by a superficial parotidectomy....

description | Carcinosarcoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is a rare malignant neoplasm, with most cases reported in the parotid gland. We herein report a case of a 75-year-old male referred to our hospital with a long-standing right parotid lesion that was treated in an outside hospital by a superficial parotidectomy. The patient reported a painful, rapidly enlarging mass following the excision. Histopathological examination showed the proliferation of malignant epithelial and mesenchymal elements with a solid sheet of Langerhans cells admixed with eosinophils. The Langerhans cells were reactive to CD1a and BRAF; hence, a diagnosis of carcinosarcoma ex pleomorphic adenoma with Langerhans cell histiocytosis was given. Complete clinical and radiographic workup showed no other organ involvement. The patient underwent total parotidectomy with adjuvant chemoradiation; however, the tumor progressed and showed lung metastasis. We herein report the first case of a concurrent Langerhans cell histiocytosis with associated carcinosarcoma ex pleomorphic adenoma. |
