Abstract
A case of a large (5.5 cm), multilobulated, mucosa-covered, minor salivary gland tumor of the base of the tongue that displayed morphologic features of both a mucoepidermoid carcinoma and an acinous cell tumor is described. Generally, each of these salivary gland tumors occurs only rarely at this site. A tumor with both these elements has not previously been reported.
