| Abstrakt: | The parotid, submandibular, and sublingual salivary glands are the major salivary glands in the mouth. Cancers that arise in these glands are relatively uncommon, usually benign, and rarely metastasize. We present a unique case of a 17-year-old male diagnosed with high-grade secretory carcinoma of the salivary gland that was generally asymptomatic except for a persistent rash. The patient reported no significant past medical, family, or social history. A multidisciplinary team efficiently diagnosed and treated the cancer with histopathology, MRI, tumor excision, lymphadenectomy, and adjuvant treatment. Despite the rarity of the cancer, which was found in a high-grade regionally advanced disease, in an uncharacteristically young patient, the patient was effectively treated with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy without treatment-related complications.
