Core Tip

Core Tip: In this article we present a clinical case of a patient diagnosed with a hybrid intercalated duct lesion (IDL) tumor of the accessory parotid gland. It is the first reported IDL case arising from such location, which stands for less frequent but higher malignancy rate tumor developmental area. We also discuss potential diagnostic pitfalls associated with unusual growth site, describe the further treatment choice, and review the available literature.
