Abstract
The first reported case of sebaceous differentiation in adenoid cystic carcinoma is presented. The tumor arose in the superficial lobe of the left parotid gland of a 48-year-old white man, had a predominantly solid histologic pattern, and manifested focal sebaceous differentiation in each of three recurrences over a two-year period. Review of the medical literature suggests that sebaceous differentiation is a normal property of some salivary ducts and may be found in any type of salivary gland neoplasm which has a ductal component. The differential diagnosis of sebaceous and clear cell lesions of salivary glands is discussed.This publication has 32 references indexed in Scilit:
