Abstract

This paper presents a rare case of cribriform adenocarcinoma of minor salivary glands (CAMSG), which is a variant of polymorphous adenocarcinoma. A 79-year-old woman with a soft palate mass underwent biopsy and excision, which confirmed CAMSG through histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses. The identification of vascular invasion prompted adjuvant radiotherapy. The discussion highlights the distinct features of CAMSG, supporting its classification as a separate entity from PAC, and addresses diagnostic controversies. The paper emphasizes the importance of individual case reports for effective management and advocates ongoing research to enhance understanding of CAMSG's behavior and treatment options.
