Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant tumor which occurs frequently in hard palate associated with minor salivary glands. The lesion generally presents as a painful slow growing mass and it is characterized by recurrences and distant metastasis resulting in a poor prognosis for the patient. This paper reports an atypical adenoid cystic carcinoma with palatal perforation which occurred in a young woman. Initial diagnostic hypothesis were necrotizing sialometaplasia and lues. Although adenoid cystic carcinoma is common in hard palate, cases with palatal perforation are uncommon and may lead to delay in diagnosis and therapy.
腺样囊性癌是一种常见于硬腭且与小唾液腺相关的恶性肿瘤。该病变通常表现为一个生长缓慢的疼痛性肿块，其特点是复发和远处转移，导致患者预后不良。本文报道了一名年轻女性发生的伴有腭穿孔的非典型腺样囊性癌。最初的诊断假设为坏死性涎腺化生和梅毒。尽管腺样囊性癌在硬腭中很常见，但伴有腭穿孔的病例并不常见，可能会导致诊断和治疗的延迟。
