Abstract
Introduction and importance
Salivary gland secretory carcinoma (SGSC) represents a rare malignant tumor of the salivary glands. Despite being regarded as low-grade tumors, they may manifest with metastases and a high-grade aggressive clinical behaviour. The literature on this subject is limited, and there is currently no standardized approach to treatment.
Case report
We report a rare case of SGSC in the palate of a 14-year-old female patient. The patient underwent excision, bilateral tonsillectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy.
Clinical discussion
A critical review of the literature was conducted with the objective of analysing the cases of intraoral SGSC that have been previously reported. A total of 23 articles, published between 2010 and 2024, were identified as being directly pertinent to the review, resulting in a total of 58 patients being included.
Conclusion
SGSC on the hard palate in a 14-year-old child is an exceedingly rare occurrence. These tumors can mimic other pathologies of the salivary glands clinically and microscopically, which can result in misdiagnosis and a delay in treatment.
