Adenocarcinoma of the anterior tongue: a case report

Neal C Gehani et al. Am J Otolaryngol. 2013 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Adenocarcinoma of the minor salivary gland more commonly involves the palate and base of tongue but rarely presents in the anterior tongue. We report a rare case of adenocarcinoma of the minor salivary gland located in the anterior togue of a 74-year-old man. Furthermore, we discuss the histopathological features of this neoplasm, the treatment plan, and a literature review of the current standard of care.
