Abstract
- Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (Ca ex PA) is a rare malignant tumor that arises from a primary or recurrent benign pleomorphic adenoma (PA). Ca ex PA has an aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. To date, there are no standardized therapeutic methods. Herein, we reported a case of a 57-year-old Chinese female with Ca ex PA of the submandibular gland. After surgery, cervical lymph nodes recurred, and multiple distant metastases were detected. During the treatment, she received multiple chemotherapies and radiotherapy but suffered from multidrug resistance and repeated disease progression. Hence, PD-1 inhibitor (sintilimab), in combination with anlotinib, was administered, which resulted in better control of pulmonary metastases compared to the other treatment regimens. This provided an alternative treatment option for Ca ex PA of the submandibular gland patients with failed multiple therapies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
