Virchows Arch. 2014 May;464(5):621-5. doi: 10.1007/s00428-014-1551-4. Epub 2014 Mar 2.

Abstract

Sclerosing polycystic adenosis is a rare salivary gland lesion. Recently, this entity has been regarded as a neoplastic lesion of low-grade malignant potential but, to date, no invasive carcinoma, metastases, or associated mortality have been reported. We report the first case of an invasive carcinoma component in a recurrent sclerosing polycystic adenosis lesion.
