A 68-year-old Caucasian gentleman presented with a 6-month history of a left sided Level I/II neck swelling involving the floor of mouth. MRI revealed a large cystic lesion and histology confirmed a diagnosis of primary papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the sublingual gland. Papillary cystadenocarcinoma was first described in 1991 by the World Health Organisation [WHO], and is a rare malignant neoplasm characterised by cysts and papillary endo-cystic projections. Papillary cystadenocarcinoma arising from the sublingual glands is extremely rare and has the potential to metastasise to cervical lymph nodes. This patient we report was therefore treated with surgical excision and post-operative radiotherapy.
一位68岁的白种男性患者，左侧I/II区颈部肿胀并累及口底，病程6个月。磁共振成像（MRI）显示一个大的囊性病变，组织学检查确诊为舌下腺原发性乳头状囊腺癌。乳头状囊腺癌于1991年由世界卫生组织（WHO）首次描述，是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤，其特征为囊肿和乳头状囊内突起。起源于舌下腺的乳头状囊腺癌极为罕见，有转移至颈部淋巴结的可能。因此，我们报告的该例患者接受了手术切除及术后放疗。
