Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of salivary glands is a slow-growing malignant tumor, characterized by wide local infiltration, perineural spread, a propensity to local recurrence and late distant metastasis. Although ACC is the second most common malignant salivary gland neoplasm and constitutes approximately one-third of all salivary gland malignancies, it is relatively rare in parotid gland. Here, we present a case report of a cribriform type of ACC involving parotid salivary gland in a 66-year-old female.
涎腺腺样囊性癌（ACC）是一种生长缓慢的恶性肿瘤，其特征为广泛的局部浸润、神经周围扩散、易于局部复发和晚期远处转移。尽管ACC是第二常见的涎腺恶性肿瘤，约占所有涎腺恶性肿瘤的三分之一，但在腮腺中相对少见。在此，我们报告一例66岁女性腮腺涎腺筛状型ACC的病例。
