Core Tip

Core Tip: Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma is a rare low-grade malignant salivary gland tumor. The morphological and immunohistochemical features of mammary analogue secretory carcinoma closely resemble those of breast secretory carcinoma. The key characteristics of the lesion are a lack of pain and slow growth. There is no obvious specificity in the clinical manifestations and imaging features. The diagnosis of this disease is particularly difficult. This report describes a rare case of a 32-year-old male patient who presented with a gradually growing lesion that was initially diagnosed as breast-like secretory carcinoma of the right parotid gland. Imaging and histological investigations were used to overcome the diagnostic difficulties.
