Abstract
Abstract: Polymorphous adenocarcinoma (PAC) of head and neck tumors is a rare salivary gland neoplasm of indolent course. We reported a 63-year-old female who presented as an asymptomatic mass in buccal space. The patient, after metastatic workup, underwent complete excision of the lesion with a negative margin. Postoperative histopathology and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were suggestive of PAC. Presently patient is on follow-up as per a multidisciplinary team decision. To conclude, PAC diagnosis is challenging due to morphological diversity, which necessities IHC. In addition, presently treatment of choice as per the literature review is complete excision.
