Abstract

Salivary duct carcinoma affects primarily adults and presents at a mean age of approximately 60 years. Women are involved less than men. The majority of cases involve the parotid gland, presenting as single or multiple masses. Most cases of salivary duct carcinoma behave as high-grade malignancies. Salivary duct carcinoma is infiltrative, comprised almost exclusively of one cell type (ductal), and exhibit a variety of architectural patterns (solid, trabecular, cribriform, and microcystic) (Figs. 25.1, 25.2, 25.3, 25.4, 25.5, 25.6, 25.7, 25.8, 25.9, 25.10, 25.11, 25.12, 25.13, 25.14, 25.15, 25.16, 25.17, 25.18, 25.19, 25.20, 25.21, 25.22, 25.23, 25.24, 25.25 and 25.26).
