Abstract

Carcinosarcoma of the parotid gland is extremely uncommon and is known to be an aggressive malignant mixed tumor in which carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements coexist and metastasize together. We report a case of recurrent parotid gland carcinosarcoma that showed squamous cell carcinoma and chondrosarcoma in a 58-year-old woman.
