摘要
Abstract Background Carcinosarcoma of the parotid gland is an extremely rare malignancy comprising of 0.04-0.16% of all salivary gland tumors. They consist of distinct carcinomatous and sarcomatous components and may arise de novo or from a preexisting pleomorphic adenoma. Methods and results Herein we present a case of an 80-year-old female who presented with progressively increasing left facial swelling over 6 weeks. Magnetic Resonance Imagining revealed a mass (3.4 cm) in the parotid gland with a predominant cystic/necrotic component. The cytology was atypical (Milan3) and a total parotidectomy and selective lymph node dissection was done. The resection showed extensive necrosis with high grade sarcomatous (chondrosarcoma) areas. The epithelial component was adenoid cystic carcinoma with perineural invasion. The patient is currently undergoing radiotherapy of the tumor bed and skull base due to propensity of perineural invasion of the adenoid cystic component. The most common carcinomas in carcinosarcomas of salivary glands are adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Conclusion This is the first case of an adenoid cystic carcinoma with chondrosarcoma to the best of our knowledge. Carcinosarcoma is a high-grade aggressive lesion with a poor prognosis and should be treated aggressively. More studies are needed to understand the origin of these tumors.
