Abstract
|
|
|
|
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumor. Its incidence is less than 1 percent of all head and neck malignancies and approximately 10 percent of all salivary neoplasms. There are no clear guidelines for the treatment of ACC, but a combination of surgery and postoperative radiotherapy has been usually recommended. Subglottic cancer has a lower incidence than does laryngeal cancer, whose incidence is in the range of 4 to 6 percent of all cancers of the larynx. Because of the rarity of this tumor in the larynx, no series has been large enough to permit statistical evaluation of treatment. We report a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma on subglottis, which was treated with surgical excision and postoperative radiotherapy. The relevant literature is briefly reviewed.
