AI Article Synopsis

  • Salivary gland oncocytic lipoadenoma is a rare benign tumor that combines mature fat tissue with oncocytic cells, and this report highlights a unique case with sebaceous differentiation.
  • A 64-year-old male had a well-encapsulated tumor in his left parotid gland that measured 3.5 x 3 cm, showing both fat cells and distinct oncocytic changes in its epithelial components.
  • Cytogenetic analysis revealed a translocation involving the HMGA2 gene, which is similar to changes seen in other salivary gland tumors such as lipomas and pleomorphic adenomas.

Article Abstract

Salivary gland oncocytic lipoadenoma is an exceptional benign tumor composed of mature adipose tissue associated with a mixture of oncocytes. We report a case of oncocytic lipoadenoma showing sebaceous differentiation, and provide a cytogenetic analysis, which has not yet been described. A 64-year-old male developed a left parotid gland, well-encapsulated tumor measuring 3.5 x 3 cm(2), showing mature fat cells associated with oncocytic changes of epithelial components. Immunohistochemistry showed a dual epithelial population with ductal (positivity for AE1/AE3, CK19, CK7 antibodies) and basal-cell (positivity for p63, CK14, CK5,6 antibodies) differentiation in oncocytic areas. Moreover, oncocytic cells were stained with anti-alpha-1 antichymotrypsin antibody and phosphotungstic acid-hematoxylin staining. Molecular cytogenetic analysis showed a translocation t(12;14), resulting in structural rearrangement of the region framing the HMGA2 gene at 12q14.3. Such alterations in HMGA2 have been described in both lipomas and pleomorphic adenomas of the salivary glands.

Oncocytic lipoadenomas are a rare sub-category of fat-containing tumors of the salivary glands. These tumors are characterized by their oncocyte-predominant epithelial component admixed with mature adipocytes. This condition has been rarely reported to affect the parotid and the submandibular glands.

Oncocytic lipoadenoma of the salivary gland is a rare tumor that develops mainly in the parotid gland. We report a case of oncocytic lipoadenoma of the parotid gland in a 70-year-old woman. The tumor measured 30 × 20 mm and had a well-circumscribed tan-brown surface.

Oncocytic lipoadenoma (OL) is a rare salivary gland tumor characterized by the presence of oncocytic cells and mature adipose tissue. To date, only 30 cases of OL have been reported in the English-language literature. We present 3 additional OL cases involving the parotid, including a synchronous presentation with paraganglioma of the right carotid bifurcation.
