Abstract

One case of an unusual form of carcinoma involving the submucosal gland and duct of tongue was reported and reviewed. According to Gerughty et al(1968) four distinct component parts were classified : ductal carcinoma in situ(involvement of the ductal epithelium by in situ carcinomatous changes), squamous cell carcinoma, and a mixed carcinoma(combination of glandular and squamous characteristics and occasionally consisted of large nests composed of "glassy" cell). This tumor was fond to be extremely aggressive and highly malignant. The histopathologic features and the clinical behavior of this tumor were sufficiently distinctive to warrant the designation adenosquamous carcinoma : exhibit concomitant glandular and squamous neoplasm. The mode of therapy was evaluated and the treatment of choice appears to be radical surgery. So, we has done the radical neck dissection and partial glossectomy. However, the limited number of cases indicated that collection and subsequent analysis of additional cases must be performed before any definitive conclusion can be drawn.
