Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare tumor arising from the minor salivary glands;, the palate being the commonest site. Distant metastasis and perineural invasion areis common in adenoid cystic carcinoma. Diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma is made usually with the help of clinical features, radiographic features and histologic features. We reported a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of palate involving left maxillary sinus. The diagnosis of the case and brief review of literature of adenoid cystic carcinoma is discussed. The aim here is to highlight the importance of diagnosis, treatment and long-term follow-up of the patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma.
腺样囊性癌是一种起源于小唾液腺的罕见肿瘤，腭部是最常见的发病部位。远处转移和神经周围侵犯在腺样囊性癌中很常见。腺样囊性癌的诊断通常借助临床特征、影像学特征和组织学特征来进行。我们报告了一例累及左上颌窦的腭部腺样囊性癌病例。本文讨论了该病例的诊断以及腺样囊性癌的文献简要回顾。目的是强调腺样囊性癌患者诊断、治疗及长期随访的重要性。
