Abstract:Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is an unusual slow growing salivary gland malignancy with higher chances of recurrence. It is characterized by the proliferation of ductal (luminal) and myoepithelial cells in cribriform, tubular, solid, and cystic forms. Standard treatment, including surgery with postoperative radiation therapy, has attained reasonable local control rates, but distant metastases do not allow any improvement in the survival rate. We present a case of a 50-year-old female diagnosed with ACC involv… Show more
“…Different tumor entities can be distinguished histopathologically. The ACK shows three different growth patterns: cribriform, tubular, and solid (15). Most ACK, in the maxillary sinus have a cribriform structure (15,16).…”
