ABSTRACT
Carcinosarcoma is an uncommon tumor consisting of malignant epithelial and mesenchymal elements. Salivary gland carcinosarcoma is aggressive in nature, and given its biphasic histologic appearance, it has the potential to be mistaken for a less concerning entity. Intraoral minor salivary gland carcinosarcoma is exceedingly rare with the palate being the site most frequently involved. Only two cases of carcinosarcoma arising from the floor of the mouth (FOM) have been reported. We present a case of a non-healing FOM ulcer that was identified as a minor salivary gland carcinosarcoma on surgical pathology along with the steps and importance of accurate diagnosis.
