A 51-year-old white female presented with a painful ulcer of the left ventrolateral tongue. An incisional biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of adenosquamous carcinoma. The adenosquamous carcinoma is an uncommon malignant tumor with histopathological features of a squamous carcinoma and an adenocarcinoma. A definitive diagnosis requires histopathological examination of a deep biopsy involving the submucosal tissue. This malignant tumor shows aggressive behavior with early invasive growth and a poor prognosis. The histopathological findings and differential diagnosis of a case of adenosquamous carcinoma of the tongue are discussed.
一名51岁的白人女性因左侧舌腹外侧疼痛性溃疡就诊。切开活检确诊为腺鳞癌。腺鳞癌是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,具有鳞状细胞癌和腺癌的组织病理学特征。明确诊断需要对包含黏膜下组织的深部活检进行组织病理学检查。这种恶性肿瘤表现出侵袭性生长行为,早期即发生浸润,预后较差。本文讨论了一例舌腺鳞癌的组织病理学表现及鉴别诊断。
