Abstract
A case of heterotopic salivary gland adenocarcinoma (HSGA) in the righ t cervical region is presented. The carcinoma cells were positive for alpha-amylase, carcinoembryonic antigen, epithelial membrane antigen, cytokeratin as well as for expression of human salivary alpha-amylase messenger ribonucleic acid. The possibility of HSGA should be consider ed when an adenocarcinoma producing human salivary alpha-amylase is di agnosed away from sites where major and minor salivary glands normally are found.
