ABSTRACT
A 44-year-old male presented to our vascular surgery unit with a partially thrombosed 22 mm popliteal aneurysm giving rise to progressive distal ischemia. Microscopy of embolus retrieved from the posterior tibial artery at bypass surgery revealed the unexpected finding of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (Masson's pseudoangiosarcoma).

ABSTRACT
We present a rare case of renal metastasis of a recurrent pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland in an elderly woman. Metastasising pleomorphic adenoma shows malignant clinical behaviour, and although it appears histologically benign, there may be unknown molecular features that determine its unusual ability to spread.
