Cytological Diagnosis of Papillary Cystadenocarcinoma of the Parotid Gland - Abstract
Papillary cystadenocarcinomas are common tumors of the ovary, but limited reports are there in the literature where the tumor arises in the salivary gland. Of all the salivary glands, parotid is the most common site where it is seen. Cytological features in papillary cystadenocarcinoma do overlap with cystadenoma but there are certain pointers, which help in distinguishing the two. The present case studies the cytological findings in a malignancy and how to differentiate it from the benign counterpart.
