Abstract
Introduction: Papillary cystadenocarcinoma is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm of major salivary glands. The most common major salivary gland involved is parotid. It is characterised by cysts and papillary endophytic projections.
Case Report: We report a case of papillary cystadenocarcinoma arising from the left submandibular gland in a 55-year-old female patient, and discussed the clinical, histopathological and treatment features of this rare entity.
Conclusion: Papillary Cystadenocarcinoma is a very rare malignant tumor of the salivary gland. It is to be differentiated from other papillary tumors of salivary gland especially papillary cystadenoma.
Keywords: Papillary cystadenocarcinoma, Major salivary gland
