{Abstract}: The differential diagnosis of salivary gland lesions with epithelial components and lymphoid stroma is often challenging. Salivary gland carcinoma with tumor-associated lymphoid proliferation, tumors composed of both epithelial and lymphoid components, lymphoid neoplasms in the salivary gland, and inflammatory lesions are all included in this category. It encompasses inflammatory lesions and neoplastic lesions. With the exception of Warthin tumors, these lesions are rare, making them more difficult to diagnose. Carcinoma showing thymus-like elements has recently been reported in the salivary gland. Similar to thymic carcinoma, tumor cells are positive for CD5 and are accompanied by T lymphocytes.
