Sublingual salivary gland neoplasms are extremely rare, accounting for only 0.3-1% of all epithelial salivary gland tumors. Most of the sublingual tumors are malignant, adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) being the most common histological types. The coexistence of two salivary gland tumors located in different major salivary glands is uncommon.
A rare case of two simultaneous tumors of the major salivary glands, one in the sublingual and the other in the contralateral parotid gland in a female patient is reported.
The diagnostic procedure followed, and the management of the patient, is outlined in the paper.
舌下唾液腺肿瘤极为罕见,仅占所有上皮性唾液腺肿瘤的0.3%-1%。大多数舌下肿瘤为恶性,腺样囊性癌(ACC)和黏液表皮样癌(MEC)是最常见的组织学类型。位于不同大唾液腺的两种唾液腺肿瘤并存并不常见。
本文报告了一例罕见的女性患者,其大唾液腺同时出现两个肿瘤,一个位于舌下,另一个位于对侧腮腺。
本文概述了所采用的诊断程序及患者的治疗情况。
