Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma: A Case Report

Abstract

Introduction: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare cancer originating from salivary glands, displaying an indolent growth pattern but aggressive progression. Early diagnosis is crucial due to the high metastatic potential and recurrence rate associated with ACC. This case report aims to contribute to the understanding and timely identification of ACC and its impact on patient management. Case: A 42-year-old male patient presented with bleeding and swelling of the gingiva in the right upper molar region. Radiological examination revealed a radiolucent lesion causing bone resorption. Excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of ACC. Discussion: ACC poses diagnostic challenges due to its diverse clinical features and histological types, often leading to delayed detection. Prompt diagnosis is essential for effective management. This case report emphasizes the importance of early detection and highlights the clinical and pathological aspects of ACC, aiding in its recognition and appropriate treatment.
