Salivary duct carcinoma is a highly malignant tumor that arises from salivary gland. Pathologically, Salivary duct carcinoma is similar to high-grade breast ductal carcinoma. The tumor is commonly associated with pain and facial paralysis and is known to have high rates of recurrence and metastasis. Surgical resection and postoperative radiation is mainstream of the treatment. In this study, we report a case of this tumor which was seen predominantly benign-looking in fine needle aspiration biopsy. The features of this tumor are presented with a review of literature.
