Mucinous adenocarcinoma is characterized by large pools of extracellular mucin. The tumor has been reported in the nasal cavity, paranasal sinus, breast, colon, stomach, prostate, skin, and lung. Mucinous adenocarcinoma also arises as a primary tumor of the major salivary glands. However, its occurrence is exceedingly rare and has only recently been recognized. Only 9 cases in the major salivary glands have been reported. We present an additional case of MAC in the maxilla that was considered to have developed from a palatal minor salivary gland.
黏液腺癌的特征是有大量细胞外黏液池。该肿瘤已在鼻腔、鼻窦、乳腺、结肠、胃、前列腺、皮肤和肺中被报道。黏液腺癌也可作为大唾液腺的原发性肿瘤出现。然而，其发生极为罕见，直到最近才被认识到。大唾液腺中仅报道过9例。我们报告了1例上颌骨黏液腺癌，认为它起源于腭部小唾液腺。
