XXXX of the buccal minor salivary gland with liver metastases.

UNASSIGNED: @entity420 ( @entity420 ) of salivary glands are rare @entity5 that mostly affect the major salivary glands. They are generally considered @entity189 that are locally destruc.tive and tend to recur, but only occasionally metastasize. Currently there are only a few reported cases of distant metastases from BCAC, and @entity3 to the liver is not previously described. We report the first case of BCAC with histologically confirmed liver metastases. A 40-year-old @entity1 presented with a 2-month history of a painless swelling in the left buccal region. The lesion was completely resected, and the @entity1 underwent postoperative radiotherapy. Permanent histology and immunohistochemical studies revealed a BCAC of the buccal minor salivary gland. After 14 months, two hepatic metastatic nodules were detected. The @entity1 underwent a partial hepatectomy with adjuvant chemotherapy. No evidence of progressive disease or further recurrence was observed for 20 months after the hepatic metastasectomy. @entity420 grow indolently and long-term survival can be expected. Surgery should be considered in selected @entity1 as a therapeutic option in metastatic disease.
