title: Cribriform adenocarcinoma of the minor salivary glands arising in the epiglottis--a previously undocumented occurrence.
abstract: A 39-year-old female was referred to her local Ear, Nose, and Throat department with tonsillar hypertrophy. During intubation for a tonsillectomy, a mass was also noted on the epiglottis. Histopathologic examination showed this mass to be a cribriform adenocarcinoma of the minor salivary glands (CAMSG). As far as the authors are aware, a CAMSG has never been documented in the larynx.
