“…After compilation of the cases, we found 2,280 cases of ACC in a total of 41 articles. Out of these cases 1,382 were reported in intraoral sites and 178 were specifically reported in the buccal mucosa[2–46–43Table 1]. Based on the above findings, we concluded that among intraoral minor salivary gland ACCs, 12.9% occurred in the buccal mucosa.…”

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.
