Abstract
A typical carcinoid is extremely rare in the oral cavity. We here present a case of a typical carcinoid arising in the sublingual gland
of a 62-year-old woman. The tumor was removed by primary excision with 10 mm surgical margins and submandibular dissection.
Examination of the tumor showed medium-sized tumor cells that were positive for CD56 and chromogranin A, with no necrosis,
and with a mitotic count less than 1/10 HPF. A pathological diagnosis of typical carcinoid was made from both morphological and
immunological examinations. One year after excision surgery, there was no tumor recurrence or neck metastasis.
