My husband is just diagnosed with PAC, waiting for molecular analysis now... Does anyone what the molecular analysis is for? Is it to distinguish from CAMSG? Or is it to confirm if it is low grade?

If you also had PAC, how long did you have it before it was found out?

We have a small child, I'm really worried...

Hello @qlovej and welcome to the Head and Neck group. Polymorphous adenocarcinoma is a rare situation indeed. It appears to be treatable by anyone familiar with this salivary gland tumor but it may prove difficult to find anyone familiar unless you consult a large clinic or cancer center.
I really can’t give you any more information than what you can find on the internet. I can only find one case with Mayo Connect and that was a couple years back with a person known as @sugardog , which you can search out using the search bar above.
Give this discussion a few days and someone might pop in with something.
Any treatment suggestions yet? Many of us here can help you with surgery and radiation advice.
