Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma is also called a mixed tumor and it most commonly occurs in the salivary gland. This neoplasm has a low grade malignant potential, but it may also show aggressive clinical behavior like recurrence or metastasis. We report here on a case of a tumor that was confirmed to be primary pulmonary carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma by the pathologic examination after complete resection, and it had the characteristics of malignant neoplasms, such as multiple metastases.

소위 다형선종이라 불리는 혼합종은 주로 침샘에 기원하며 폐에서 발생한 예는 세계적으로 보고된 예가 극히 드물다. 이 신생물은 저악성도를 나타내기도 하나 재발이나 원격전이와 같은 공격적인 성향을 보이는 경우도 있다. 우리는 종양의 완전 절제후 병리학적으로 폐의 일차성 악성 다형선종임을 확인하였고 술 후 다발성 전이와 같은 악성 신생물의 소견을 보이는 증례를 경험하여 이를 보고하는 바이다.
