Cutaneous carcinosarcoma is a rare malignancy that exhibits both mesenchymal and epithelial components. It is similar to nonmelanoma skin cancers in terms of risk and prognostic factors. However, these malignancies are known to have a propensity for local recurrence and metastasis, even with adequate resection margins. Here we report a case of metastatic cutaneous carcinosarcoma to the parotid gland and review the relevant literature.
皮肤癌肉瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,具有间充质和上皮成分。在风险和预后因素方面,它与非黑色素瘤皮肤癌相似。然而,已知这些恶性肿瘤即使手术切缘足够,仍有局部复发和转移的倾向。在此,我们报告一例腮腺转移性皮肤癌肉瘤病例并复习相关文献。
