“…Reports describing MucAC in the head and neck region are scarce. To date, 10 cases have been found in salivary glands (4–13) and several cases in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses (6). In the salivary glands, majority cases arose in the major salivary glands; three parotid, five submandibular, one sublingual, and one palatal minor gland.…”

A rare case of mucinous adenocarcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation of the mandibular ramus is presented. The patient, an 80-year-old man, was referred to our hospital with chief complaint of swelling and pain in the left buccal mucosa. CT and MRI examination showed an osteolytic tumor mass occupying the upper region of the left mandibular ramus. Macroscopically, the excised tumor was a relatively well-defined, solid mass with diffuse bone resorption, measuring 3 cm x 3.2 cm x 3 cm. Microscopical examination showed that the tumor forming glandular structures with abundant mucous production and high cellular atypia. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated the positive reactivities for pan-keratin, cytokeratin 7, vimentin,alpha-amylase, alpha-smooth muscle actin, neuron-specific enolase, glial fibrillary acid protein, calcitonin, and somatostatin in tumor cells. These findings suggested that the tumor was originated from heterotopic or misplaced salivary gland in the mandible.

“…Large, single, round, intracytoplasmic vacuoles are seen in some cells. 6 Table I highlights features that are useful in distinguishing mucinous cystadenocarcinoma from mucinous adenocarcinoma and from low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The presence of nuclear pleomorphism in a mucinous lesion favors mucinous adenocarcinoma.…”
