title: Papillary adenocarcinoma possibly arising from an intraductal papilloma of the parotid gland.
abstract: We report a case of a 70-year-old female with a papillary adenocarcinoma which we believe to have originated from an intraductal papilloma of the parotid gland. A few cases of intraductal papilloma of a minor salivary gland have been reported; however, to our knowledge, intraductal papilloma and, hence, adenocarcinoma originating from an intraductal papilloma of the parotid gland, have never been described.
