چکیده

CASE A 44-year-old Indian woman presented with a painless left soft palate swelling of size 2×2 Cm for three years (Figure-1). The swelling was initially small and slowly increased its size. The overlying mucosa was slightly erythematous. The swelling was well circumscribed, smooth, firm in consistency and non-tender. Regional lymphadenopathy was present. A provisional diagnosis of salivary gland neoplasm was made. A biopsy was performed and showed areas of ducts and small cyst like spaces filled with eosinophilic coagulum. Small nests, sheets, anastomosing cords of squamous cells were also evident in the section. At one end accumulation of mucoid material resulting in myxomatous appearance and chondroid like material were also seen in the section. (Figure-2a,b). No recurrence was observed after a follow-up period of 8 years.
