ABSTRACT
We present a case of a 28-year-old male weight lifter who died suddenly while driving a bicycle. Forensic autopsy and histopathological examinations revealed granulomatous lesions in the myocardium and hilar lymph nodes. The latter had massive caseation necrosis, epithelioid granulomas and Langhans' giant cells suggestive of tuberculosis. However, the myocardium showed predominantly multinucleated foreign body and myogenic giant cells, lymphocytes, plasma cells, macrophages, eosinophils. Staining for acid-fast bacilli was negative. The present case highlights the difficulty in establishing whether the granulomatous lesions in the hilar lymph nodes and the myocardium are incidental findings or whether they are related by the same pathogenetic mechanisms.

Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, also known as the last 18 months. It was diagnosed as pleomorphic carcinoma ex mixed tumors is a malignant carcinoma adenoma in Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology but was that arises from a preexisting benign pleomorphic later confirmed histologically as carcinoma ex adenoma. A 65-year-old male presented with a non-tender swelling in the parotid area of about 30 years pleomorphic adenoma [salivary duct carcinoma type] duration, which had suddenly increased in size during of the parotid gland
