Histopathologically, it resembles that of duct carcinoma of the breast, so it is named ""salivary duct"" carcinoma and its biologic behavior is highly aggressive. Recently, the authors have experienced a case of salivary duct carcinoma, which was arised from Stensen's duct and reported with review of literatures.
