What is Cribriform Adenocarcinoma of the Minor Salivary Gland (CAMSG); A Separate and Malignant Entity about?

## Abstract ## Introduction/Objective Cribriform adenocarcinoma of the minor salivary gland (CAMSG) is a recently described salivary gland neoplasm (SGN) that WHO includes under the polymorphous adenocarcinoma (PAC) subheading. CAMSG is reported to occur mostly in the base of the tongue and lingual tonsils. ## Methods We present a case of CAMSG of buccal mucosa in a 48-year old woman who presented with pain and swelling on the left side of the face that started after tooth extraction. Imaging revealed a large expansile mass (5.8 x 4.3 x 6.1 cm) originating in the left mandibular angle extending into masticator space, maxillary sinus, pterygopalatine fossa, sphenoid, middle cranial fossa, orbit and skull base. Ameloblastoma, primary intraosseous carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma were considered. Incisional biopsy revealed a tumor comprised of round to ovoid cells with clear to vesicular nuclei (ground-glass appearance) and occasional mitosis present in irregular solid, cribriform, and microcystic patterns in a hyalinized stroma with the presence of abundant mucin within lobules and stroma. ## Results Differential diagnosis of secretory carcinoma, hyalinizing clear cell carcinom
