  2. -- Istituto di Anatomia ed Istologia Patologica -- PERUGIA 2009 INTRODUCTION • Metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma (MPA) is an extremely rare metastasis of histologically benign tumour. Nevertheless, the aggressive outcome of some cases indicates that the adjective benign is inappropriate. • Typically, the metastasis and the primary salivary gland tumour are histologically identical to the benign tumour. • We describe a case of pulmonary metastasis from submandibular pleomorphic adenoma.

  3. -- Istituto di Anatomia ed Istologia Patologica -- PERUGIA 2009 CASE HISTORY A 51-year-old woman showed a lung nodule and two pancreas lesions. She had past medical history of pleomorphic adenoma of the submandibular gland (7 years before) locally recurred two years after diagnosis. A computed tomography-guided needle biopsy of the pulmonary nodule was performed.

  4. -- Istituto di Anatomia ed Istologia Patologica -- PERUGIA 2009 PATHOLOGICAL FINDINGS The histologic exam of formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded tissue evidenced a neoplasm made up of small cells with no atipia in a variable amount of fibromyxoid tissue.

  5. -- Istituto di Anatomia ed Istologia Patologica -- PERUGIA 2009 IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL FEATURES • The cells were immunoreactive for cytokeratin pool, smooth muscle actin and S-100 protein. • They were negative for chromogranin, synaptophysin and TTF-1. • The proliferative index Ki-67 (MIB-1) was 3%.

  9. -- Istituto di Anatomia ed Istologia Patologica -- PERUGIA 2009 DISCUSSION 1 • MPA was first described in 1942. • The mechanism underlying its metastatic behaviour is still not certain. • The majority of the tumours origins from the parotid gland, while there are a few reports of metastasis from the submandibular gland.

  10. -- Istituto di Anatomia ed Istologia Patologica -- PERUGIA 2009 DISCUSSION 2 • Bone, lung and lymph nodes are the most common sites of metastatic disease, but kidney, liver, CNS, retroperitoneum and skin can also be involved. • As in our case, there is often a long interval between diagnosis of the primary tumour and metastases.
