%A Brooks, Keisha %A Mensi, David %D 2015 %T Salivary Gland Duct Carcinoma: A Case Report %K SDC;Fine Needle Aspirate;IHC; Cribiform %X Salivary gland duct carcinoma (SDC) is an uncommon high-grade and aggressive malignancy with a low rate of incidence, comprising approximately 9% of all salivary gland malignancies 1 . This malignancy has a poor prognosis and predilection for recurrence and distant metastasis 2,3,4 .  SDC is found most often in the parotid gland in men over the age of 50. Frequent reported symptoms include a rapidly growing parotid gland mass accompanied by facial nerve paralysis 6,7,8 . Because of the difficulty in distinguishing benign and malignant salivary gland tumors, clinical findings offer limited information in the assessment of changes in the parotid gland 9 . Several findings in the literature suggest the use of pre-operative fine needle aspiration as a valuable method of clinical management of the malignancy and subsequent chance for long term survival 8,10 . Immunohistochemical analysis can be used to make a diagnosis of SDC by distinguishing it from other salivary gland malignancies. %U https://esmed.org/MRA/mra/article/view/99 %J Medical Research Archives %0 Journal Article %N 3 %@ 2375-1924 %8 2015-04-01
