Description
Summary:This article presents a case of low-grade cribriform cystadenocarcinomas (LGCCC), a rare salivary gland tumor manifesting in the infratemporal fossa (ITF). The lesion in this case is unique in its location, histopathology, and management in that the tumor resection was performed using an exclusively endoscopic, endonasal approach. This case highlights the expanding application of endoscopic skull base techniques to address an indolent, slow-growing malignancy of the ITF.
