Abstract

Salivary duct carcinoma is a distinctive salivary gland neoplasm, morphologically characterized by intraductal and infiltrating components. It is an uncommon malignant tumor that occurs in the major salivary glands and its biological behaviour is highly aggressive. Therefore, a salivary duct carcinoma is regarded as a high-grade malignancy. We experienced two cases of salivary duct carcinoma in parotid gland and submandibular gland. The clinicopathologic features of these tumors are presented with a review of literature.
