A Case of a Coexisting Carcinosarcoma Ex Pleomorphic Adenoma With Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis in the Parotid Gland.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Carcinosarcoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is a rare malignant neoplasm, with most cases reported in the parotid gland. We herein report a case of a 75-year-old male referred to our hospital with a long-standing right parotid lesion that was treated in an outside hospital by a superficial parotidectomy. The patient reported a painful, rapidly enlarging mass following the excision. Histopathological examination showed the proliferation of malignant epithelial and mesenchymal elements with a solid sheet of Langerhans cells admixed with eosinophils. The Langerhans cells were reactive to CD1a and BRAF; hence, a diagnosis of carcinosarcoma ex pleomorphic adenoma with Langerhans cell histiocytosis was given. Complete clinical and radiographic workup showed no other organ involvement. The patient underwent total parotidectomy with adjuvant chemoradiation; however, the tumor progressed and showed lung metastasis. We herein report the first case of a concurrent Langerhans cell histiocytosis with associated carcinosarcoma ex pleomorphic adenoma.
