By conventional notion, the PA and carcinosarcoma would be considered related, as carcinosarcomas are well known to arise from PAs (carcinosarcoma ex PA). However, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay demonstrated PLAG1 translocation in the carcinosarcoma and HMGA2 translocation in the separate PA.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>These findings support that the carcinosarcoma likely originated from another PA with a PLAG1 translocation or de novo but not from the coexisting PA harboring a different translocation. To our knowledge, the case is the first to demonstrate PLAG1 translocation by FISH in a sarcomatous component of any parotid gland tumor, which may help better classify these tumors. In addition, multiple PAs are commonly found in the salivary gland, and to our knowledge, our case is the first to demonstrate that the same parotid gland can host PAs and PA-related tumors with different translocations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcp\/aqaa104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,6]],"date-time":"2020-06-06T19:09:00Z","timestamp":1591470540000},"page":"811-815","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Giant
