ABSTRACT
Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a rare and highly aggressive malignant salivary gland neoplasm, accounting for only 0.2% of salivary gland tumours. It predominantly affects the parotid gland and represents a significant concern with limited prevalence (1-1.2 individuals per million). We present a case of a 65-year-old female patient with a clinical history of swelling and pain in the right lower jaw region for six months. Diagnostic investigations revealed a well-defined submandibular gland lesion. Subsequent histopathological and immunohistochemical findings confirmed the lesion to be SDC. This case report emphasises the challenges in diagnosing this aggressive malignancy, which stems from its rarity and resemblance to other neoplasms. It is worth noting that the involvement of the submandibular gland is observed in a mere 12% of SDC cases, while females account for only 25% of the reported instances.
