A polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma arising from a minor salivary gland is a rare malignancy of the aerodigestive system. Most such adeno-carcinomas develop in the hard palate. Surgical excision constitutes adequate treatment. A 41-year-old male presented with a mass 1 × 0.7 cm in size at the left side of the tongue near the papilla circumvallata and underwent total resection and primary closure. The pathological diagnosis was a low-grade polymorphous adenocarcarcinoma and the surgical margins were negative. We present the case and review the management of low-grade polymorphous adenocarcinomas of (usually) the hard palate as described in the literature; such tumours are rarely encountered.
Minör tükrük bezinden kaynaklanan Polimorfoz düşük dereceli adenokarsinom üst aerodijestif yolun nadir görülen malign bir tümörüdür. Bu tür Adenokarsinomların çoğu sert damakta gelişirler. Tedavide cerrahi eksizyon yeterlidir. Yazımızda total rezeke edilen ve primer olarak kapatılan dil sol tarafta papilla sirkumvallata komşuluğunda 1x0.7 cm çaplı kitlesi olan 41 yaşında erkek hasta sunulmuştur. Patolojik tanı düşük dereceli polimor-foz adenokarsinom ve cerrahi sınırlar negatifti. Bu makalede literatürde genellikle sert damakta tanımlanan ve seyrek olarak karşılaşılan düşük de-receli polimorfoz adenokarsinom olgusu ve tedavi yönetimi tartışıldı.
