Abstract

A 63‐year‐old man was initially seen with multiple pulmonary nodules 14 years after a left parotidectomy for an epithelial‐myoepithelial carcinoma of salivary gland. Eight and 18 months after parotidectomy, the patient had local recurrence of his salivary gland tumor. He remained disease‐free before being seen with pulmonary nodules, which were evaluated by open lung biopsy. The pathologic features of the pulmonary nodules were identical to the salivary gland tumor resected 14 years earlier. This is the fourth reported case of epithelial‐myoepithelial carcinoma of salivary gland metastasizing to a distant site. Β© 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The salivary glands are the site of many neoplasms characterized by a mixture of epithelial and myoepithelial cells and stromal fragments. Cytologic distinction of these neoplasms may be very dificult but careful attention to cellular details and the interaction between the cells and stronia can cor

## Abstract ## Background Ipsilateral salivary gland tumors of different histologic types are rare and make up less than 0.3% of all salivary gland neoplasms. Only nine cases of synchronous benign and malignant ipsilateral parotid gland tumors have been described in the literature. ## Methods Tw
