Six months after prostatectomy the patient died, with local recurrence and roentgenologic evidence of a single pulmonary metastasis. Both light-microscopic and electron-microscopic examination showed features similar to those of a malignant mixed tumor of the salivary gland. These findings suggest that this tumor originated in seromucinous ectopic glands. The important factor in its recognition is that it is not hormone-dependent.
