“…It is only recently that the tumor has been renamed as adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) (Kaiser), which is a rare tumor accounting for \1 % of all head and neck malignancies and 10 % of all salivary gland neoplasms [8]. ACC is an uncommon form of malignant neoplasm that arises most commonly in the major and minor salivary glands of the head and neck.…”

“…ACC is known for its prolonged clinical course, perineural invasion, multiple recurrence rates and delayed onset of distant metastasis. Lymph node metastases are unusual; hematogenous spread, often to the lungs is quite characteristic, metastasis to kidney being extremely rare [6][7][8]. Here we present a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the right buccal mucosa that was surgically excised and healed uneventfully.…”

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm most commonly originating in salivary glands of head and neck region. Among intra oral adenoid cystic carcinoma, buccal mucosa is among the rarest sites. We report a case of adenoid cystic of buccal mucosa in a 40-year old female. We have discussed the clinical features, histopathology, diagnosis and treatment along with a brief review of the relevant literature. Although the buccal mucosa is an uncommon site for adenoid cystic carcinoma, the relatively indolent growth pattern of this case and its location which is rather atypical for this type of salivary gland malignancy primarily warrants the necessity behind reporting of this case. Secondly, adenoid cystic carcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of mass of buccal mucosa. It is important to identify such cases rather early and surgical removal with adequate margins is the treatment of choice.

“…This infiltrative capacity is hallmark of ACC. [1] It typically presents as a slow growing submucosal mass/ swelling with constant low-grade dull pain and is wellknown for infiltration of nerves with following perineural invasion causing paresthesia. [3] They behave differently with slow growth and local invasion with recurrences and metastasis seen many years after treatment.…”

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.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) is a malignant tumor mostly occurring in the head and neck salivary glands. In this article, two rare cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma occurring in the buccal mucosa with their treatment and long-term follow-up are presented. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) was initially described as "cylindroma" in 1856 by Billroth, as it contained long amorphous compartments named "cylinders" in its histological view. Later on, the term "adenoid cystic carcinoma"(AdCC) replaced the term cylindroma for defining this tumor. 1 AdCC accounts for 10% of salivary gland tumors and for approximately 1% of all malignancies of the head and neck. 2 AdCC arises more frequently in minor salivary glands, in comparison with major salivary glands. 3 AdCC of minor salivary glands is believed to have a worse prognosis, compared to those of the major salivary glands. Pain can be a paramount symptom of the disease, due to the tumor's proneness toward perineural invasion. 4 Although this tumor is likely to occur at almost any age, it is most commonly observed in women, in the 5th and 6th decades of life. 5 In a recent study, the AdCC occurrence rate in women and men was 60:40, respectively. 6 AdCC often manifests itself as a small and slowly growing tumor. However, it is diagnosed at an advanced stage in
