A case of malignant oncocytoma of the parotid gland in a 32-year-old male is presented. Ten months after parotidectomy an undifferentiated carcinoma, in which oncocytes still could be recognized, developed in the operated area. According to the literature available to us, this is the second reported case in which malignant transformation in a benign oncocytoma of the salivary gland has been observed.
A patient with multiple myeloma (MM) who developed Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is described. The KS appeared 18 months after the diagnosis of MM and 1 month after the treatment was changed from cyclophosphamide to melphalan. The treatment with melphalan was discontinued and the spread of the KS was arrested by irradiation and bleomycin. One month after the melphalan was restarted, the KS advanced. The patient died 28 months after the diagnosis of MM and 10 months after KS had developed. The association of KS and MM is discussed and the previously reported cases are reviewed. A possible connection between the treatment with melphalan and the development of KS is proposed.
