A Case of Cystadenocarcinoma Arising from Parotid Gland / 대한이비인후과학회지

Cystadenocarcinoma, a term established by the 2005 World Health Organization classification system to an entity of cystadenocarcinoma, is a rare malignant neoplasm of the salivary glands. Major locations of this neoplasm are the parotid gland, sublingual gland, and minor salivary glands. We encountered a case of cystadenocarcinoma originating from a parotid gland in a 28-year old man. He received radiation therapy followed by superficial parotidectomy. At 18 months of follow-up, no recurrence is observed. We herein report the case with a review of literature.
