| Abstract: | We describe a 45-year-old man who had a 2-year history of a slowly enlarging tumor in the left parotid gland. Histologically,
the tumor was a mucinous cystadenoma with focal apocrine differentiation, which revealed a widespread invasive micropapillary
adenocarcinoma component. A rim of lymphoid tissue surrounded the margins of the micropapillary carcinoma. The invasive micropapillary
adenocarcinoma component was morphologically identical with the invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the mammary gland. The
tumor is different from so-far recognized salivary gland tumor entities.
