Abstract
A case of heterotopic salivary gland adenocarcinoma (HSGA) in the right cervical region is presented. The carcinoma cells were positive for α-amylase, carcinoembryonic antigen, epithelial membrane antigen, cytokeratin as well as for expression of human salivary α-amylase messenger ribonucleic acid. The possibility of HSGA should be considered when an adenocarcinoma producing human salivary α-amylase is diagnosed away from sites where major and minor salivary glands normally are found.
