Abstract
-
Intraductal papilloma that arises from the salivary gland is an extremely rare benign tumor and mostly affects the minor salivary gland. We have experienced a case of an intraductal papilloma arising from the sublingual salivary gland in a 51-year-old woman. The radiologic finding shows an unicystic mass having solid portion. The tumor was completely excised transorally. The histologic findings are papillary proliferation of two uniform layers of columnar epithelial and flat basal cells supported by a fibrovascular core. The clinicopathologic features of this tumor is presented with a review of literature.
