Resection of upper lip adenoid cystic carcinoma and reconstruction with reverse Yu flap: Report of three cases and a literature review

Abstract: 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 surg… Show more

“…The very first case of ACC involving the upper lip was reported by Pizer and Dubois in 1985, but initially, it was described by Robin and Laboulbene in 1853. [ 2 4 5 ] Primary site of occurrence is the palate comprising all malignant palatal tumors,[ 4 5 ] but this can show a rare presence involving minor salivary glands of lower lip, retromolar tonsillar pillar region, sublingual gland, buccal mucosa, and floor of the mouth.

“…[ 1 ] Clinical behaviour of ACC depends on the site involved and the affected nerve, and common clinical features are slow growing, small, painless, and occasionally aggressive in nature. [ 2 ] The present reported case is a cribriform type of ACC on the upper lip mimicking mucocele without neural involvement, which was surgically excised under local anaesthesia without radiotherapy and chemotherapy. After 6 months of follow-up, it showed no recurrence.…”
