Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the sublingual gland is an extremely rare neoplasm. The clinicopathological characteristics of ACC are slow-growing swelling with or without ulceration, perineural spread, local recurrence, and distant metastasis. This report describes a 58-year-old male who had a slowly growing swelling without ulceration on the right side of the mouth floor that had been present for 1 month. In a radiological examination, the mass showed multilocular cystic features and no bony or tongue muscle invasion. No enlarged cervical lymph nodes were detected. Excisional biopsy and histological analysis showed that the lesion was ACC. In addition to reporting a rare case of ACC, this report also discusses the differential diagnosis and treatment of ACC with a review of the relevant literature.
舌下腺腺样囊性癌是一种极为罕见的肿瘤。腺样囊性癌的临床病理特征为生长缓慢的肿块，可伴有或不伴有溃疡、神经周围浸润、局部复发及远处转移。本报告描述了一名58岁男性，其右侧口底有一生长缓慢、无溃疡的肿块，已存在1个月。在影像学检查中，肿块呈多房囊性特征，未侵犯骨质或舌肌。未检测到颈部淋巴结肿大。切除活检及组织学分析显示该病变为腺样囊性癌。除报告一例罕见的腺样囊性癌病例外，本报告还结合相关文献讨论了腺样囊性癌的鉴别诊断及治疗。
