Adenoid cystic carcinomas are deceptive malignancies that show slow growth and local invasion with recurrences seen many years after diagnosis. Upto 50% of these tumors occur in the intraoral minor salivary glands usually in the hard palate. Buccal mucosal tumors are relatively rare. We determined the incidence of buccal mucosal adenoid cystic carcinoma by reviewing the number of reported cases in the literature. This is the first article to analyze the occurrence of adenoid cystic carcinomas in the buccal mucosa through a review of 41 articles. Our review revealed 178 buccal mucosal adenoid cystic carcinomas among a total of 2,280 reported cases. We present a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma occurring in the left buccal mucosa of a 45-year-old female.
腺样囊性癌是一种具有欺骗性的恶性肿瘤，生长缓慢，呈局部浸润性，在诊断多年后仍会复发。这些肿瘤中高达50%发生于口腔内小唾液腺，通常位于硬腭。颊黏膜肿瘤相对少见。我们通过回顾文献中报道的病例数量来确定颊黏膜腺样囊性癌的发病率。本文是第一篇通过对41篇文章进行综述来分析颊黏膜腺样囊性癌发病情况的文章。我们的综述在总共2280例报道病例中发现了178例颊黏膜腺样囊性癌。我们报告一例发生于一名45岁女性左侧颊黏膜的腺样囊性癌病例。
