Abstract
|
|
|
|
Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a relatively rare tumor that usually arises in the parotid and submandibular salivary glands. The initial management is surgical, and this is often combined with post-operative radiotherapy, but local relapse is common and distant metastasis is not infrequent. We experienced the case of a 59 years old male who had been previously operated on for a primary submandibular salivary cyst, and he then had a distant pulmonary metastasis 9 years later. We operated on him with performing a wedge resection on the left lower lobe for the metastatic lesion, and he hasn’t had any evidence of tumor recurrence for 84 months after the second operation.
