Sebaceous lymphadenoma of salivary gland: a case report and a review of the literature

F Maffini et al. Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital. 2007 Jun.

Abstract
in English, Italian

The unusual case is described of a benign parotid gland neoplasm with intermingled sebaceous and lymphoid tissue, synchronous to breast cancer. In the past, the patient had undergone a simple surgical procedure for a cystic parotid gland lesion in that same gland. Secondary neoplasms have only occasionally been reported, since there are few cases for corroborating the strong correlation between salivary neoplasms and other carcinomas as in Muir-Torre syndrome; the previous cystic lesion showed the origin of the neoplasm from a sebaceous inclusion in the lymph node as a postulate of Warthin tumour.

Descriviamo un caso di neoplasia benigna della parotide costituita da ghiandole sebacee frammiste a tessuto linfoide, sincrono a carcinoma della mammella, in paziente già sottoposta a chirurgia per asportazione di lesione cistica della stessa. Le neoplasie concomitanti sono rare, poiché ci sono solo pochi casi per sostenere una forte correlazione tra la neoplasia salivare ed altri carcinomi come nella sindrome di Muir-Torre; la precedente cisti dimostra che la neoplasia origina da inclusioni sebacee nei linfonodi come per il tumore di Warthin.
