Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, abbreviated ca ex PA, is a rare malignant salivary gland tumour that arises from a pleomorphic adenoma.
General
Definition:
- Malignancy arising from a pleomorphic adenoma.[1]
Diagnosis (either 1 or 2):
- History of a pleomorphic adenoma at the same site (~25% of cases[1]).
- Features of a pleomorphic adenoma and a carcinoma.
Epidemiology:
- Rare.
- Prognosis dependent on stage:
Gross
- Usually mass lesion - typically partoid gland.[1]
Microscopic
Features:
- Cells with cytologic features of malignancy - key feature.
- Architecture (any of the following):
- Glands.
- Nests.
- Single cells (may be subtle).
Subtyping/patterns:
- Epithelial carcinoma (~75% of cases[1]):
- Ductal carcinoma NOS (arising from ductal cells) - most common pattern for ca ex PA.
- "Named carcinoma":
- Salivary duct carcinoma - second most common pattern for Ca ex PA.
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
- Adenoid cystic carcinoma.
- Myoepithelial carcinoma NOS (arising from myoepithelial cells).
Notes:
- Myoepithelial cells may be clear cells.
DDx:
Subclassification
Extent of invasion:[3]
- Non-invasive AKA intracapsular AKA in situ.
- Minimally invasive <=1.5 mm beyond the capsule.
- Widely invasive >1.5 mm beyond the capsule.
Images
IHC
Features - ca ex PA versus PA:[2]
- Ki-67 >35% of cells.
- HER2 +ve membrane staining (3+ for high-grade, 2+ or less for low-grade).
- p53 +ve.
- AR +ve.
Others:[2]
- CK7 +ve.
- AE1/AE3 +ve.
