Abstract
A case of polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma occurring in the subli ngual gland is described, followed by a brief discussion on the differ ential diagnosis. This is the first case ever reported of this entity occurring in the sublingual gland. This paper brings into question the early belief that this tumor is restricted to intraoral minor salivar y glands.
