Abstract
Pleomorphic adenoma, also known as benign mixed tumor, is the most common tumor affecting the parotid gland and can reach massive size; however, intracranial invasion is rare. Recurrence of pleomorphic adenoma after excision is a well-known phenomenon and can present decades after resection of the primary tumor. Here we present the case of a 53-year-old man who presented to our clinic with ear fullness, otalgia, and hearing loss 30 years after undergoing total parotidectomy and external beam radiotherapy for pleomorphic adenoma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a massive transcranial tumor invading the mastoid cavity, the dura of the posterior fossa, the fallopian and semicircular canals, the jugular foramen, the lateral infratemporal fossa skull base, the sigmoid and transverse sinuses, and the superior parapharyngeal region. Gross examination and histopathological studies confirmed that the mass was a recurrent pleomorphic adenoma. Here we discuss the features of recurrent pleomorphic adenoma and review the current literature.

Immunohistochemical Expression of p53 in Pleomorphic Adenoma and Carcinoma Ex Pleomorphic Adenoma. J Cancer Epidemiol 2010; 2010:250606. [PMID: 21253477 PMCID: PMC3022193 DOI: 10.1155/2010/250606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2010] [Revised: 11/18/2010] [Accepted: 12/06/2010] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Context. Immunohistochemical stains for p53 are used as a diagnostic marker associated with malignancy in several histologic types of salivary gland tumors. This marker may be useful in differentiating pleomorphic adenoma (PA) from carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CPA), as these tumors are often difficult to distinguish on the basis of morphology alone. Objective. to evaluate whatever inactivation of tumor suppressor gene (p53) increases with the tumor progression from normal salivary tissue to PA and eventually CPA. Design. Paraffin blocks of 29 cases of PA, which were surrounded by normal parotid gland, and 27 cases of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma were retrieved and validated. In all cases of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, a PA “ghost” was identified, and the malignant element was either undifferentiated carcinoma or adenocarcinoma. Results. The results showed negative nuclear expression of P53 in normal parotid gland. Nuclear P53 was expressed strongly in 6/29 (20.7%) pleomorphic salivary adenoma and 10/27 (37%) carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma.
Conclusion. Our data suggest that inactivation of p53 may play an important role in the evolution of pleomorphic salivary adenoma and carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma.

Abstract
The occasional local recurrence of benign pleomorphic adenoma (PA) has generally been attributed to the vulnerability of the tumor capsule. Although some reports have also noted the presence of satellite tumors associated with PA recurrence, only few reports have focused on this issue. We paid special attention to the satellite lesions apart from the main tumors and discussed their frequency, origin, nature and the ways of treating them. A total of 108 specimens of primary parotid gland PA resected at the Okayama Saiseikai General Hospital from 1988 to 2008 were microscopically reviewed. Four (3.7%) patients displayed a main mass with satellite tumors in a single parotid gland. The immunohistochemical analysis of p53 and Ki-67 index showed no distinct difference between PAs with satellite tumors and those without. Satellite tumors surrounding the main mass of parotid PA is relatively rare. In most cases, such satellite tumors will arise from capsular perforation of the primary tumor cells. Preoperative evaluation to recognize the existence of satellite tumors would be important and capsular dissection should be discouraged. We could not find any evidence suggesting that primary PA with satellite tumors could be more biologically aggressive than those without.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the possibility that various salivary gland tumors that look histologically similar could express p53 oncoprotein and Ki-67 proliferation antigen differentially and possibly aid in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions. STUDY DESIGN Intraoral paraffin-embedded biopsy specimens of salivary gland tumors were used. Thirty-eight pleomorphic adenomas, 17 adenoid cystic carcinomas, 23 monomorphic adenomas, and 17 polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinomas were stained with p53 and Ki-67 antibodies by using an immunoperoxidase detection system. Each case was evaluated in terms of staining intensity and percentage of cells staining. RESULTS Ki-67 and p53 antigens are expressed in generally low levels in the histologically well-differentiated salivary tumors that were studied here, both benign and malignant. Only 1 solid-type adenoid cystic carcinoma showed a high percentage of cells expressing p53. CONCLUSIONS The histologically well-differentiated salivary tumors studied do not show differential expression of p53 and Ki-67, in spite of their differing courses of biologic behavior. These antibodies should not be relied on to distinguish benign from malignant lesions of the salivary glands; however, they might be markers for those lesions that are dedifferentiating histologically and, therefore, might be displaying more aggressive behavior.

Abstract
Where and how frequently p53 abnormalities are involved in the development of pleomorphic adenoma (PA) and its malignant progression to carcinoma was investigated. The presence of p53 gene abnormalities was analyzed in eight patients with carcinoma in pleomorphic adenoma (CPA) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays and immunohistochemistry. Normal salivary gland tissue, adenomatous, transitional and carcinomatous areas were microdissected from archival microslides and analyzed for allelic deletions of the p53 gene using two microsatellite markers at the p53 locus; dinucleotide (CA)n repeat and pentanucleotide (AAAAT)n repeat. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the p53 gene was detected in 57% of adenomas, 86% of transitional lesions and 86% of carcinomas. In contrast, overexpression of p53 oncoprotein was noted immunohistochemically in 13% of adenomas, 50% of transitional areas and 75% of carcinomas. All of the tumors with immunoreactivity for p53 oncoprotein demonstrated LOH. Moreover, when LOH was present in adenomatous or transitional areas, the identical LOH was always detected in the corresponding carcinomatous areas in the same CPA tumors. These findings indicate that p53 gene mutation is an early event and occurs frequently at an early stage of precancerous lesions and may be responsible for most cases of malignant transformation of PA.

Abstract
Previous studies have suggested that alterations of the p53 gene are the most common genetic abnormality in human cancer. The aims of the present study were to evaluate p53 protein (p53P) immunostaining in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the salivary gland and to correlate the expression with patient survival. A total of 27 cases of ACC in the parotid gland (n = 12) and the minor palatine glands (n = 15) were studied, with ten cases each of normal parotid and palatine glands as non-neoplastic controls. Staining was performed with mouse monoclonal antibody DO-7 against p53 (Dako, USA) using the ABC method. Stained nuclei irrespective of intensity or frequency were considered as positive. The frequency of positive nuclei was evaluated as the p53P index (p53PI), the percentage of the total nuclei in the reference epithelium. Clinical survival data were available for patients for periods up to 156 months. Our data showed that no normal tissues showed immunoreactivity with p53P in their nuclei. Thirteen of 15 (87%) cases of palatal and two of 12 (17%) cases of parotid neoplasms stained with p53P and the p53PI ranged from 0.01 to 10%. The number of p53P positive tumors was significantly higher in palatal than in parotid neoplasms, suggesting that palatal ACCs may be more aggressive in comparison with parotid ACCs. Our data also showed that the number of p53P positive tumors was significantly increased in patients who died of tumors than in patients with no evidence of disease at the end of the follow-up period between 60 to 156 months. These results suggest that p53P may be involved in the development of salivary gland ACCs and that p53P analysis may be a useful indicator of poor prognosis.

Abstract
A series of 219 salivary gland tumours (103 carcinomas and 116 benign tumours) were analysed for p53 protein expression using immunohistochemistry, and for mutations in p53 gene using non-radioactive single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP). p53 expression was present in 36% (42/116) of the benign tumours and in 54% (56/103) of the carcinomas. The highest prevalence of p53 expression was found in adenoid cystic carcinomas (69%), followed by mucoepidermoid carcinomas (67%). Of the benign tumours, pleomorphic adenomas showed the highest prevalence of p53 positivity (41%). In malignant tumours, expression of p53 bore no correlation to local recurrence, metastatic disease or survival of the patients. Exons 5 through 9 were analysed and four mutations were found in 20 cases of p53-immunopositive tumours and two in 20 p53-negative tumours. Each of the exons 5, 6 and 8/9 had two mutations, whereas no mutations were detected in exon 7.

Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) constitute approximately 20% of malignant salivary gland tumors. Several histological types of ACC are recognized and may coexist in a single tumor. The authors divided ACC into lower grade (tubular and cribriform subtypes) and higher grade (trabecular and solid) subtypes. A preliminary analysis of 10 ACCs showed a relatively high incidence of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the p53 and RB genes and low or absent K-ras mutations and LOH at chromosomal loci 3p, 5q, 8p, and 9p. From 21 tumors, the authors carefully microdissected and analyzed 36 subtype foci. Three interrelated pieces of evidence indicate that the relatively poor prognosis higher grade subtype arises from one or more of the lower grade subtypes via progression events associated with mutations in the p53 or RB genes. First, the number of mutations (both LOH and microsatellite alterations) at either gene is greater in higher grade foci than in lower grade foci; second, multiple mutations (two and occasionally three) are present in only higher grade foci; and third, when lower and higher grade foci are present in the same tumors, identical mutations plus other mutations are present in the corresponding higher grade foci. These findings suggest that molecular analyses of ACCs may provide information of prognostic importance.

Abstract
Recently, our laboratory has found a high incidence (77%) of p53 gene mutations in human functional adrenal tumors. Furthermore, the majority of mutant sites were assembled at codons 100, 102, and 249. These mutation sites are not common, and there have been no studies addressing whether or not these mutants points or mutant styles cause the p53 protein to lose function. It has been well known that p53 is a transcription factor. To examine the transcriptional activities of these mutant p53 genes from patients with functional adrenal tumors, we constructed p53 expression plasmids from tumors and paired adjacent normal adrenal gland tissues, using a transient co-transfection assay with a reporter gene in H358 cells. Wild-type p53 from normal adrenal gland tissues specifically trans-activates the expression of a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene in H358 cells. Three mutant p53 proteins (at codons 100, 102, and 249, respectively) from tumors showed a >90% loss of transcriptional activity. One mutant at codon 68, other than at hot spots, remained at approximately 65% transcriptional activity. An immunoprecipitation assay showed that the mutant proteins of codon 68 and codon 102 could respond to the three monoclonal antibodies (PAbDO-1, PAb1620, and PAb421), indicating that there were no obvious changes in the antigenicity of the proteins. However, the mutant protein of codon 249 could not respond to the carboxy-terminus-specific antibody PAb421 and conformation-specific antibody PAb1620, indicating that there were some obvious changes in the conformation of the mutant proteins. The mutant protein of codon 100 could not be detected by immunoprecipitation assay but could be analyzed by Western blot. In a further study using a DNA-binding assay, it was shown that the loss of transcriptional activity was caused by the loss of DNA-binding ability. These results show that the p53 mutants, derived from functional adrenal tumors, actually lost DNA-binding ability and decreased the transcriptional activity. However, the role of the mutant protein in the tumorigenesis of functional adrenal tumors requires further investigation.

Abstract
Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of salivary glands. Carcinomas in pleomorphic adenomas (CPAs) may arise by malignant transformation of the epithelial components of PAs. Occasionally, transitional zones containing cells with histological features intermediate between those of the benign PA and carcinomatous components of CPA are identified. After careful microdissection of archival microslides, the authors studied 12 cases of CPAs and their attendant adenomatous and transitional areas for mutations in the p53, RB, and K-ras genes, and at chromosomal loci 5q and 9p. The authors failed to find mutations in the K-ras gene or 9p locus. A relatively high rate of mutations (loss of heterozygosity [LOH] and microsatellite alterations) at the p53 gene were detected in CPAs (58%), and at somewhat lower frequencies at the RB gene (33%) and chromosomal location 5q (17%). Mutational frequency in the associated transitional and adenomatous areas were slightly lower than in the corresponding CPAs. No mutations were detected in adenomatous or transitional areas unless they also were present in the corresponding CPAs. Mutations of these three genes were absent in four cases of CPA, and in seven PAs without malignant change. These findings indicate that most CPAs arise from adenomas as the result of mutations in the three genes, especially p53. In addition, other, as yet unidentified genes may also be involved both in the development of PA and in its malignant progression to CPA. Mutational analysis of PAs may provide information of prognostic importance.

Abstract
A cultured cell line (CaPA-4), derived from an undifferentiated carcinoma in a pleomorphic adenoma of the submandibular gland, was established through xenografted tumors in nude mice. Geneticin treatment eliminated surrounding mouse fibroblasts and yielded enriched tumor cells at an early stage of cell passage. In vitro, the line grew in a cobblestone pattern, revealing its epithelial origin. Chromosomal analysis by Giemsabanding confirmed its human origin, while electron microscopic examination showed its squamous-cell characteristics. CaPA-4 cells stained positive for the c-myc and Ha-ras antibodies. Molecular analysis showed over-expression of both c-myc and Ha-ras mRNA, with point mutation of p53 at codon 248 and of Ha-ras at codon 61. Amplification and rearrangement of the Ha-ras gene were observed; however, no loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the p53 gene was detected by Southern blotting. This sequence of cancer-related gene activation may represent the malignant transformation from benign pleomorphic adenoma. This report describes the establishment and molecular characterization of this novel cell line from carcinoma in pleomorphic adenoma exhibiting squamous-cell differentiation. This could represent a useful model for investigating the cause of malignant transformation from human salivary-gland mixed tumors.

Abstract
To understand the molecular mechanisms whereby normal human salivary gland cells become malignant and escape growth-inhibitory control by transforming growth factor (TGF)-betaI, we examined the effect of TGF-betaI on the proliferation and expression of TGF-beta receptors in cells and the expression of TGF-beta type II receptor (TbetaR-II) mRNA. An SV40-immortalized normal human salivary gland duct cell clone (NS-SV-DC) with no tumorigenic ability, originally obtained via s.c. implantation into nude mice, was partially resistant to the growth-inhibitory effect of TGF-betaI, while a neoplastic human salivary gland duct cell clone (HSGc) with tumorigenic, but not metastatic, potential in nude mice was more resistant to the growth-suppressive effect of TGF-betaI than NS-SV-DC. Metastatic cell clones derived from carcinogen-treated HSGc were completely refractory to the anti-proliferative effect of TGF-betaI. Affinity cross-linking revealed that NS-SV-DC possesses the types I, II (TbetaR-II) and III receptors. However, HSGc and metastatic cell clones lacked expression of detectable levels of the TbetaR-II protein. Moreover, we evaluated TbetaR-II mRNA expression in these cell clones by Northern blot analysis and observed that, although NS-SV-DC expressed a large amount of TbetaR-II mRNA, a small amount of TbetaR-II mRNA was detectable in HSGc. In contrast, no significant bands were detected in metastatic cell clones. Our results, therefore, suggest that one of the possible mechanisms of escape from autocrine or paracrine growth inhibition by TGF-betaI during human salivary gland carcinogenesis involves reduced expression or lack of TbetaR-II.

Abstract
Forty-seven samples of paraffin-embedded formalin-fixed (and 25 related frozen) sections of 27 primary pleomorphic adenomas, 15 recurrent pleomorphic adenomas and 5 carcinomas in pleomorphic adenomas were studied to analyse their immunohistologic patterns with respect to the ratio of the expression of 'normally' and 'aberrantly' differentiated cell types. In primary pleomorphic adenoma PTHrP-positive cells are seen in the inner layer of tubulo-ductal structures, in part of the cells in the mucoid, chondroid, or myxochondroid matrix, and in the squamous metaplastic areas. Bcl-2-positive cells are found in the outer layer of tubulo-ductal structures, in part of the cells in the mucoid, chondroid, or myxochondroid matrix, and around the squamous metaplastic areas. In one case of primary pleomorphic adenoma, which recurred later, the positivity for Bcl-2 is more intense and seen in the periphery of this tumour with a predominantly myxoid pattern. In recurrent pleomorphic adenomas, which also mostly showed a predominantly myxoid pattern, the positivity for Bcl-2 showed a pattern similar to the primary-to-recur tumour. PTHrP-positive cells are found less frequently than Bcl-2-positive cells. In carcinoma in pleomorphic adenoma, the benign part shows the features of primary pleomorphic adenoma with its Bcl-2 and PTHrP-positivity patterns. The malignant part strongly shows Bcl-2-positive cells in the periphery of the tumour. We conclude that the maintained presence of Bcl-2 and PTHrP-positive cells in the tumours we studied shows the variable capacity of tumour cells to differentiate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies of the molecular biology of cancer have demonstrated that p53 tumor suppressor gene aberration is associated with the development and progression of several different cancer types. METHODS To analyze the expression of the p53 oncoprotein in parotid gland neoplasms, 72 parotid gland tumors (including 46 malignant and 26 benign cases) were studied immunocytochemically using the murine monoclonal DO-7 anti-p53 antibody. In parotid gland cancers, no and low expression (-/+) or moderate and high expression (++/+++) of the p53 oncoprotein were examined for correlation with patient survival and other clinicopathologic features, including clinical stage, tumor size, regional lymph node status, facial nerve paralysis, local infiltration, and distant failures. RESULTS Positive staining was observed focally in 3 of 26 (11%) benign tumors and in 31 (67%) of 46 malignant tumors. Cancers showing moderate and high expression of p53 tended to be more advanced and larger than those with no expression or low expression, and presented at diagnosis more frequently, with signs of local aggressiveness. Tumors with moderate and high expression of p53 were associated more frequently with regional and distant metastases (P = 0.07 and P = 0.004, respectively). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that regional and distant metastases were associated independently with p53 expression (P = 0.068 and P = 0.047, respectively). Moreover, patients whose cancers had moderate or high p53 expression had lower disease free and overall actuarial survival rates than those with no or low p53 expression (P = 0.021 and P = 0.033, respectively). Univariate and multivariate analysis confirmed the independent predictive prognostic value of p53 expression in patients with parotid gland cancer (P = 0.044 and P = 0.039, respectively). Furthermore, p53 expression did not correlate positively with patients' smoking habits in this series. CONCLUSION The p53 tumor suppressor gene may be involved in salivary gland carcinogenesis, and its oncoprotein expression is an independent indicator of clinical aggressiveness in patients with carcinoma of the parotid gland.

Abstract
A myoepithelial cell line (PA 16/23) was derived from a pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland. PA 16/23 cells have light microscopic, immunophenotypical and ultrastructural features of immature myoepithelial cells, i.e. they are of fusiform or stellate shape and show keratin and actin cytofilaments located mainly in the perinuclear cytoplasm, desmosomes and tracts of basal lamina. The PA 16/23 cells grew actively and expressed mRNA for and produced interleukin 6 (IL-6) which was released into the culture medium. This cytokine, in turn, acted as an autocrine growth factor on the cells. PA 16/23 cells also expressed high-affinity IL-6 receptors. In these cells, both IL-6 production and proliferation could be modulated by exogenous stimulants, such as IL-6 itself, IL-1, IL-4, tumour necrosis factor alpha, interferon gamma and lipopolysaccharide. From the 40th culture passage onwards, the PA 16/23 cells ceased to grow, either spontaneously or in response to exogenous stimulants. Moreover, they strongly reduced IL-6 production, and underwent morphological differentiation into more mature myoepithelial cells, with an increased amount and a different arrangement of the keratin and actin cytofilaments, which formed thick bundles in the peripheral cytoplasm. These findings suggest a role for IL-6 in modulating the proliferation and, possibly, the differentiation of the PA 16/23 cells.

Abstract
The clinicopathological and immunocytochemical features of nine cases of salivary duct carcinoma are described. This relatively rare tumour, which only recently has been widely recognized as a separate entity, is highly malignant and caused the death in eight of the patients. The tumour cells are arranged in cribriform and solid growth patterns, where the solid tumour nests frequently have comedo necrosis, and a fibrous, often sclerotic, stroma is present. The infiltrating desmoplasmic component and the diffuse invasive growth into adjacent adipose parotid tissue have similarities to ductal breast carcinoma. Immunocytochemical investigation of salivary duct carcinoma showed constant overexpression of c-erbB-2 as detected by membrane accentuation, and high proliferative activity as detected by nuclear positivity for MIB 1 (Ki-67). Changes in the expression of p53 and retinoblastoma gene product do not constitute a constant event in salivary duct carcinoma. A few of the tumours showed scattered cells with distinct nuclear positivity for both progesterone and oestrogen receptors. We emphasize that this highly malignant salivary gland tumour has a characteristic morphology, may not be as rare as previously considered, and that prompt and aggressive therapy is needed.
