Abstract

A case of cervical lymph node metastases of polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma is reported, originating from a minor salivary gland in the soft palate in a 76-year-old man, 19 years after initial presentation. The clinical course, histopathology, and literature review on the metastatic aspect of the tumour are presented. This has emphasized the need for increased awareness of this recently described tumour and the need for lifelong follow up.
