True Carcinosarcoma of the Parotid Gland

ABSTRACT

True malignant mixed tumours (carcinosarcoma) of the salivary gland origin are very rare and demonstrate both malignant epithelial and stromal components. We report a case of parotid gland carcinosarcoma which showed foci of squamous cell carcinoma and chondrosarcoma without a clinical or histological evidence of pre-existing pleomorphic adenoma.
