Abstract
We report an unusual case of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) in the submandibular gland. The mass had a unique calcification. Panoramic tomography revealed sponge-like calcification. The central portion displayed heterogeneous high signal intensity on T1-weighted image (T1WI) and T2-weighted image (T2WI), and heterogeneously moderate signal intensity on a short-TI inversion recovery (STIR) image. The ADC was low (0.78 × 10-3mm2/sec). After surgical excision, a pathological examination revealed that the mass contained CXPA as a minor component. Tumor cells with large hyperchromatic nuclei and eosinophilic or clear cytoplasm proliferated in irregular small tubule formations or cribriform or Roman-bridge structures in hyalinized or focally ossified stroma. The entire mass was calcified, particularly in the central region. Taken together, the reduced T1 relaxation times were related to the surface effects of diamagnetic particles, which were observed at calcium particle concentrations of up to 30%. We report a CXPA with unusual sponge-like calcification, which appeared unusually hyperintense on T1WI due to a surface effect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) is a rare malignant salivary gland tumor. Although multiple reviews have been published on salivary gland malignancies, it has been a decade since the last dedicated systematic review pertaining to CXPA alone was published. This study examines molecular factors in CXPA diagnosis. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science (BIOSIS), Cochrane CENTRAL, Health Collection (Informit), OpenDOAR, and GreyNet International. REVIEW METHODS Systematic review and meta-analysis from inception to October 31, 2022 for all English language studies pertaining to "carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma." Predicted incidence of each biomarker was calculated with meta-analysis. Comparison against pleomorphic adenoma (PA) and salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) when reported within the same study are performed. Risk of bias performed with JBI tool for prevalence studies. RESULTS Of 19151 unique studies undergoing abstract screening, 55 studies (n = 1322 patients) underwent data analysis. Biomarkers with >3 studies were p53, HER2, AR, EGFR, PLAG1, ERBB, ER, PR, HMGA2, p16, p63, a-SMA, RAS, PTEN, PDL1, BRAF, PIK3CA, and c-kit. Highest incidence was seen in AR, EGFR, p16, and p53. Significant differences were demonstrated compared with PA and SDC. There was high heterogeneity and overall high risk of bias within studies. CONCLUSION Molecular factors are an area of interest in the diagnosis of CXPA. Our study results support examining CXPA as a discrete cohort in future targeted therapy trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE The association between salivary gland carcinomas and adjacent osseous changes in the head and neck region is not clear. We evaluated the frequency and imaging features of such changes and investigated the specific characteristics of salivary gland carcinomas associated with them. METHODS A total of 118 patients with histologically proven salivary gland carcinomas were retrospectively reviewed. The imaging characteristics of osseous changes were sorted into three categories based on computed tomography images: sclerotic change, erosive change, and lytic change. The frequency of all these osseous changes and any one of them was compared between different pathologies using Fisher's exact test. Odds ratios were calculated to evaluate the association between these changes and perineural spread. RESULTS Osseous changes were found in 21 (18%) of 118 cases. Among these, seven (6%) cases were with sclerotic, nine (8%) with erosive, and nine (8%) with lytic changes (four with mixed change). Adenoid cystic carcinoma showed a significantly higher frequency of sclerotic and erosive changes, and either osseous change, than the other salivary gland carcinomas (p < 0.001 for each). Sclerotic changes were only present in the adenoid cystic carcinomas. Perineural spread was a significant factor in showing higher osseous change frequencies (odds ratio = 3.98, p = 0.006). CONCLUSION Among salivary gland carcinomas in the head and neck region, adenoid cystic carcinomas had a significantly higher frequency of adjacent osseous changes, especially sclerotic changes, than other salivary gland carcinomas.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) is a rare malignant tumor of the parotid gland. We analyzed the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of CXPA of the parotid gland in patients managed for 11 years at this hospital. METHODS The study included 17 cases of CXPA of the parotid gland from January 2010 to December 2020. RESULTS Over 11 years, CXPA was the fourth most common parotid carcinoma, accounting for 9.4% of the 180 cases finally diagnosed as parotid carcinoma. Of the 17 cases of CXPA of the parotid gland, 12 lesions were removed by superficial parotidectomy, four lesions by total parotidectomy, and one lesion by radical parotidectomy. Four patients underwent neck dissection. The most common histopathology type was salivary duct carcinoma (n = 13, 76.5%). Postoperative radiation therapy (RT) was performed in 15 patients. Two patients (11.8%) experienced CXPA recurrence 14 and 19 months after surgery. CONCLUSION CXPA of the parotid gland was treated without recurrence in about 90% of the patients through surgery and postoperative RT. In the case of frankly invasive or adverse factors in the histopathological examination, more attention is required because CXPA recurrence may occur more frequently.
