Abstract
- Mucinous adenocarcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm that occasionally occurs in gastrointestinal tract and mammary glands. It is characterized by large amounts of extracellular epithelial mucin that contains solitary epithelial cells, cords and nests. Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the major salivary glands is extremely rare, and only 10 cases have been reported. Recently, we experienced a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the parotid gland treated with total parotidectomy and postoperative radiotherapy. The patient has been free of disease for 2 years after treatment. So we report the case with a brief review of literature.
