[Papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the submaxillary gland. A rare diagnosis].

The authors describe a case of a "separate" type of salivary adenocarcinoma-like tumor. The growth is described as a papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the submaxillary gland, which should be distinguished from degenerate adenolymphoma. This malignant tumor, which remains "enclosed" until late, grows slowly and should be checked regularly over a protracted period of time following surgical excision performed in accordance with cancer therapy specifications.
