Abstract

Primary malignancies of hard palate are rare, espicially adenocarcinoma of minor salivary gland in hard palate. The clinical stage of the tumor and its histologic grade at the time of treatment were significant predictors of survival. A 33-year-old woman was diagnosed with stage II, polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma of the hard palate and treated with surgery. We thougt that she would have excellent prognosis. After that, there was no definite evidence of recurrence during 3 months. Since then, the patient herself decided to discontunue follow-up. 9 years after that she came to the hospital due to both submandibular mass without any sign of local recurrence. CT scan and biopsy of the mass revealed multiple cervical metastatic adenocarcinoma without distant metastasis and the histologic findings were similar to that of the primary hard palate adenocarcinoma. So, we present this case with the review of literature.
