Abstract

Papillary cystadenocarcinoma originated from salivary gland is a lower grade neoplasm that rises most commonly in major salivary glands, although involvement of lip, palate, buccal mucosa and tongue has also been described. Papillary cystadenocarcinoma was first defined in 1991 by WHO. Until then, it was classified as an atypical type of adenocarcinoma. We experienced a case of papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the submandibular gland, so we report this case with a review of the literature.
