Abstract
A metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma originating from the parotid gland is a rare form of neoplasm. The neoplasm is a histologically benign, but clinically controversial entity. Herein, a case report of a pleuro-pneumonectomy of a metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma in the right lung is described. A 57-year-old man, who underwent resection of parotid gland due to a pleomorphic adenoma, presented with multiple metastases on the right lung, mediastinum, pericardium and intercostal muscle. The metastatic lesions were composed of a benign pleomorphic structure.
