Soft tissue pleomorphic adenoma is a rare but known entity. In a recent article by Kilpatrick et al., 2 19 cases of pleomorphic adenoma and myoepithelioma of soft tissue were studied with particular reference to their clinicopathologic features. The authors reported that two of 19 patients had fatal metastatic evolution, allowing classification as metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma of soft tissue. We herein report the cytologic and clinicopathologic characteristics of an additional extrasalivary metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma diagnosed by fine-needle sampling with an unusual polymetastatic clinical outcome.A 66-year-old woman was admitted in 1979 for bilateral pulmonary metastases (the largest metastasis measured 3 cm× 3 cm)(Fig. 1) and a small (< 1 cm) paravertebral mass. The patient underwent surgery for one of the pulmonary nodules, and a diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma was rendered (Fig. 2). She was treated by chemotherapy (methotrexate, vincristine, 5-fluorouracil, ifosfamide). After 8 years her paravertebral mass markedly enlarged (to 7 cm× 8 cm), and fine-needle sampling showed pleomorphic adenoma (Fig. 3). The patient was treated with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, bleomycin) and then irradiated locally, with no effect on tumor size. After another 8 years the patient developed a 2.1× 1.7 cm breast metastasis. Fine-needle sampling of this lesion showed clusters of plasmalike myoepithelial cells within abundant chondromyxoid stroma consistent with pleomorphic adenoma. She was treated by tamoxifen with significant tumor regression. One year later she was readmitted to the hospital for severe dyspnea with numerous pulmonary metastases. Fine-needle sampling and biopsy of the paravertebral mass were performed and the specimens were confirmed as pleomorphic adenoma. Flow cytometric analysis showed a DNA diploid (S phase= 0.3%) histogram. Results of salivary gland examination were unremarkable. The patient is alive 10 months after paravertebral biopsy with palliative treatment.
