“…[1] ACC typically has a prolonged clinical course with distant metastasis occurring late in the disease despite adequate locoregional control. [5,9] One study discovered that the median time between diagnosis of the primary lesion and detection of distant metastasis was 60 months with a range of 18-120 months. Unlike other malignancies, they usually do not lead to death in the short term but have low long term survival rates.…”

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant tumor of salivary glands, 50% of which affect the minor salivary glands. ACC is known for its prolonged clinical course, multiple recurrence rates, and delayed onset of distant metastasis. The tumor usually shows one of the three histopathological variants which are cribriform, tubular, or solid pattern. Here we present a case of ACC affecting rightbuccal mucosa which histopathologically showed cribriform pattern with abundant hyalinization. Surgical excision was the only treatment done without any additional modalities and patient is free of disease since 10 years.

“…Intraorally, the palate is the most common site, comprising ~50% of all malignant palatal tumours (3,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). Less common sites of involvement include the lower lip, retromolar-tonsillar pillar region, sublingual gland, buccal mucosa, and floor of the mouth (15)(16)(17)(18). Waldron et al (4) reported that 5% of incidences of ACC of the minor salivary glands occurred in the upper lip.…”

Abstract. The present study aimed to describe the techniques that were used, and the results obtained, with the reverse Yu flap to reconstruct medium-sized upper lip defects following resection for adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). Data concerning the clinical and pathological characteristics of tumours, the size and location of the defects, surgical resection and the reconstructive procedure used were evaluated in three patients, as well as postoperative complications and outcomes. In all cases, a complete surgical removal of ACC was achieved with clear margins of at least 1 cm. Histopathological features revealed two cases with a predominant solid growth pattern, and one case of cribriform. Following tumour excision, the average size of the upper lip defect was 35.7x30 mm. The reverse Yu flap was raised simultaneously with tumour resection in all cases. No flap failed, and both excellent aesthetic and functional results were obtained. All the patients had a satisfactory oral competence, without microstomia, after a median of 20 months follow-up (range, 12-30 months). Adjuvant radiation therapy was not necessary in any case. On the basis of the present case study and literature review, reverse Yu flap is revealed to be a simple and reliable technique for the reconstruction of defects ranging from one-third to two-thirds of the total upper lip length, involving the commissure, nasolabial fold and philtrum, with minimal donor morbidity and a good functional and aesthetic outcome. This flap appears to be a valid surgical option for reconstruction of medium-sized upper lip defects, which may be considered following radical excision of ACC.
