Most tumors arise in the oral cavity, particularly the hard palate and buccal mucosa, and display microcystic and tubular architecture with bland cytological features and a consistent immunoprofile, including SOX10, S100, and p63 positivity, while p40 is negative. To date, fewer than 50 patients have been reported, with only 2 demonstrating high-grade histological features or distant metastasis. Herein, we report a 34-year-old woman with a tumor of the retromolar trigone, initially classified as polymorphous adenocarcinoma. Fifteen years later, the patient developed pulmonary metastases with distinct histomorphological features, including solid-cribriform differentiation and comedo-type necrosis. Molecular analysis identified an\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">MEF2C::SS18<\/jats:italic>\n                    gene fusion and an immunohistochemical profile consistent with MSA. This report highlights the histological variation and the potential for late metastatic progression in MSA, emphasizing the need for accurate molecular diagnosis and long-term clinical surveillance, even in tumors that appear histologically low-grade at initial presentation.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10668969251384841","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,3]],"date-time":"2025-11-03T18:04:26Z","timestamp":1762193066000},"page":"564-568","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Distant Pulmonary Metastasis in Microsecretory Adenocarcinoma of the Salivary Gland: A Case Report Highlighting Histological Variation and Aggressive Potential"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7641-4029","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aneeza","family":"Irfan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5202-2111","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Irene Y","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rochester Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-9139-5578","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chrysa","family":"Stamou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Centre of Athens \u201cHygeia\u2014Mitera\u201d, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sandra","family":"H\u00fcrlimann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Surgical Pathology, LUKS, Lucerne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tamara","family":"Rordorf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospital Zurich"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6874-9649","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sandra","family":"Freiberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospital Zurich"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-2224-2056","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hamza","family":"Irfan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rashid Latif Medical College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7043-3456","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Niels","family":"Rupp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospital Zurich"},{"name":"University of Zurich"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1358-1062","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mena","family":"Mansour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PAS.0000000000001273"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-022-01420-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-021-01331-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cup.14349"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/his.14777"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00428-022-03374-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neo.2021.03.008"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","volume-title":"Head and neck tumours","author":"Bishop JA","year":"2023","unstructured":"Bishop JA, Mikami Y, Weinreb I.
