Intraductal papilloma of the anterior lingual salivary gland. Case report and immunohistochemical study.
A case of intraductal papilloma occurring in the anterior lingual salivary gland (Blandin-Nuhn's gland) of a 58-year-old woman is presented. This location has not been reported previously. The results of histologic and immunohistochemical studies point to an epithelial origin of excretory salivary gland ducts and also demonstrate the secretory potential of the tumor cells.
