Unusual variant of a metastasizing malignant mixed tumor of the parotid gland.
A 61-year-old man with a malignant mixed tumor of the parotid gland with metastasis to two lymph nodes of the digastric triangle is presented. This represents the first case of carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma in which the metastases simultaneously contain elements that have both benign- and malignant-appearing histologic patterns.
