Carcinosarcoma of parotid gland: A case report and literature review

doi:10.12439/kqhm.1005-4979.2024.02.014

Abstract

Abstract:

Carcinosarcoma (CS) is a highly malignant tumor composed of malignant epithelial elements and malignant mesenchymal elements, with a very low incidence rate. This paper reports a case of parotid carcinosarcoma composed of salivary duct carcinoma and angiosarcoma, and discusses the incidence, immunohistochemical analysis, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, pathogenesis, tissue source, treatment and prognosis of parotid carcinosarcoma in combination with relevant literature in order to improve clinicians' further understanding of the disease and improve the further classification of parotid carcinosarcoma pathology.

Key words: parotid gland, carcinosarcoma, pathology, immunohistochemistry, treatment

摘要：

癌肉瘤（carcinosarcoma，CS）是一种由恶性上皮成分及恶性间叶成分构成的高度恶性肿瘤，发病率极低。本文报道1例由唾液腺导管癌和血管肉瘤构成的腮腺CS病例，并结合相关文献，对腮腺CS的发病情况、免疫组织化学结果分析、诊断及鉴别诊断、发病机制及组织来源和治疗及预后进行讨论，以提高临床医生对此疾病的进一步认知，完善腮腺CS病理学的进一步分类。
