Description
Summary:Salivary gland tumors make up about 3% of all neoplasms of the head and neck. Salivary gland tumors vary widely in histopathological appearance, thus it prompted the development of a revised histopathological classification of tumours. Malignant tumors can arise in the major salivary glands or numerous minor salivary glands lining the mucosa of the upper aerodigestive tract. This case highlights one of the rare variants of primary squamous carcinoma of the sub mandibular salivary gland and the management of submandibular salivary gland malignancies.
