Malignant Salivary Gland Tumors

ABSTRACT Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a rare invasive malignancy arising from the ductal epithelium of the major salivary glands, especially the parotid gland. These are an uncommon but distinct group of highly malignant salivary gland tumors. This malignancy is well known for its aggressive behavior, metastasis to distant sites and high mortality rate. Few cases of SDC arising from minor salivary glands have been reported in literature. Till now no case has been reported to be occurring in the minor salivary glands of the hypopharynx. In this article, we present a case of salivary duct carcinoma of a 44-year-old male patient occurring in the minor salivary glands of the hypopharynx. The relevant literature and its treatment aspects are discussed. How to cite this article Veerabhadraiah P, Nanjundappa A, Amirtham U, Thyagarajan S, Shivappa A, Burrah R.

Carcinoma Of The Larynx

Salivary duct carcinomas are primarily high-grade, aggressive malignancies that affect men in the fifth and sixth decades of life. These tumors are usually found in the major salivary glands; rarely do they originate in the minor salivary glands. The distinctive feature of these neoplasms is their remarkable histologic resemblance to infiltrating ductal carcinomas of the mammary gland; both types of tumor feature epithelial and myoepithelial cells arrayed in solid, papillary, and cribriform patterns. To the best of our knowledge, only one case of a primary salivary duct carcinoma of the larynx has been previously reported. In this article, we describe a new case, and we review the literature on salivary duct carcinomas.
