Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is a low-grade malignant infiltrative tumor of the minor salivary glands. According to data from PubMed (National Center for Biotechnology), one case of PLGA involving the left main bronchus and one case involving the right main and upper lobar bronchi have previously been reported. Here, we describe the first case of PLGA originating in the trachea with metastasis to the right middle lobe bronchus, all initially misdiagnosed as adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). It is particularly important to distinguish this tumor from other types of salivary gland tumors, especially ACC. Complete surgical excision is the curative treatment of choice for PLGA.
多形性低度恶性腺癌(PLGA)是一种发生于小唾液腺的低度恶性浸润性肿瘤。根据 PubMed(美国国立生物技术信息中心)的数据,此前已有报道称有 1 例 PLGA 累及左主支气管,1 例累及右主支气管和右上叶支气管。在这里,我们描述了首例起源于气管并转移至右中叶支气管的 PLGA 病例,所有病例最初均误诊为腺样囊性癌(ACC)。从其他类型的唾液腺肿瘤,特别是 ACC 中鉴别出这种肿瘤尤为重要。完整的手术切除是 PLGA 的首选治疗方法。
