Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) is a malignant salivary gland neoplasm that presents as an indolent but aggressive neoplasm. AdCC histogenesis is linked to the intercalated ducts of the salivary glands, equally affecting the major and minor glands. AdCC is associated with distant metastasis, most commonly to the lungs, and a high recurrence rate. AdCC accounts for 4.2% of all tumors. About 55% of all reported cases affect the submandibular gland, and around 50% of AdCC cases occur in the minor salivary glands. The present review describes a case of AdCC which presented a single nodular swelling on the right side involving the floor of the mouth. It also consolidates the histopathological profile of a case of AdCC with all the relevant histopathological features.
腺样囊性癌（AdCC）是一种恶性唾液腺肿瘤，表现为一种生长缓慢但具有侵袭性的肿瘤。腺样囊性癌的组织发生与唾液腺的闰管有关，对大、小唾液腺均有影响。腺样囊性癌与远处转移相关，最常见转移至肺部，且复发率高。腺样囊性癌占所有肿瘤的4.2%。所有报告病例中约55%累及下颌下腺，约50%的腺样囊性癌病例发生于小唾液腺。本综述描述了一例腺样囊性癌病例，该病例表现为右侧累及口底的单个结节状肿胀。它还巩固了一例具有所有相关组织病理学特征的腺样囊性癌病例的组织病理学特征。
