Abstract
|
|
|
|
Adenoid cystic carcinoma(ACC) is one of the common malignant tumor of the major and minor salivary glands. ACC arising from the larynx is relatively rare(less than 1% of laryngeal malignant tumors) and only about eighty cases have been reported in the English literature. Definite diagnosis of these lesions is made only from a histological analysis, because findings and symptoms are non-specific. The diagnosis progresses very slowly, therefore it often presents at an advanced stage with regional and distant metastasis. Here, we present one case of ACC of the supraglottic region with a review of literature.
