The parotid, submandibular, and sublingual salivary glands are the major salivary glands in the mouth. Cancers that arise in these glands are relatively uncommon, usually benign, and rarely metastasize. We present a unique case of a 17-year-old male diagnosed with high-grade secretory carcinoma of the salivary gland that was generally asymptomatic except for a persistent rash. The patient reported no significant past medical, family, or social history. A multidisciplinary team efficiently diagnosed and treated the cancer with histopathology, MRI, tumor excision, lymphadenectomy, and adjuvant treatment. Despite the rarity of the cancer, which was found in a high-grade regionally advanced disease, in an uncharacteristically young patient, the patient was effectively treated with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy without treatment-related complications.
腮腺、颌下腺和舌下腺是口腔中的主要唾液腺。这些腺体发生的癌症相对不常见，通常为良性，很少发生转移。我们报告了一例独特的病例，一名17岁男性被诊断为唾液腺高级别分泌性癌，除了持续出现皮疹外，一般没有症状。患者既往无重大病史、家族史或社会史。一个多学科团队通过组织病理学、MRI、肿瘤切除、淋巴结清扫和辅助治疗有效地诊断并治疗了该癌症。尽管这种癌症罕见，且发现时处于高级别局部晚期，患者年龄也非比寻常地小，但患者接受辅助放化疗后得到了有效治疗，且未出现与治疗相关的并发症。
