Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) of the parotid gland is considered one of the commonest benign salivary gland neoplasms in both adults and pediatrics. However, metastatic pleomorphic adenoma (MPA) is extremely rare. In the past three decades, multiple cases were reported in the literature of MPA, where the metastatic phase has been preceded by a local recurrence for the majority of the cases. Metastases to the lungs, liver, bone, head and neck were reported. This paper will discuss a rare case presentation of MPA that metastasised solely to the face and scalp subcutaneous tissue with no other sites of metastases in a male adult.
Keywords: a case report; benign pleomorphic adenoma; parotid gland metastasis; pleomorphic adenoma of parotid gland; salivary gland neoplasm; salivary gland tumor; scalp lesions; solitary metastasis.
