Metastatic adenocarcinoma of a minor salivary gland in a cat.
Neoplasms derived from salivary glands are uncommon in domestic animals and descriptions of neoplasms derived from minor salivary glands are quite rare. A primary neoplasm derived from a minor salivary gland is described in a 13-year-old domestic shorthair cat. The oral neoplasm was locally invasive, and had metastasized to the regional lymph nodes and hilus of the lungs.
