Abstract
A rare case of salivary duct carcinoma originating from the Stensen's duct is presented. The patient is a 73 year-old male who visited the otolaryngology outpatient clinic complaining of a mass in his left cheek as well as submandibular lymph node swelling. The mass in the cheek was located dorsal to the orifice of Stensen's duct. CT scan showed a solid mass anterior to the left masseter muscle as well as enlarged submandibular lymph nodes. There was no lesion in the parotid gland. Fine needle aspiration biopsy of the lymph node revealed malignant cells. The mass in the cheek was resected leaving the parotid gland, and lymph node dissection of the left neck was also carried out. Following histopathological examination, a salivary duct carcinoma was diagnosed. Postoperative radiation and chemotherapy were performed and the patient has been free of tumor for 15 months after the surgery.
