Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Maxilla - A Case Report and 5 Year Follow-up

Abstract

Deepak C and Subramanian J Ravindran C

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is an uncommon tumour of the salivary and mucous glands which has been recognized for more than one hundred years. In 1359, Billroth originated the word cylindroma in describing histologically four salivary gland tumours, one of which had recurred nine times after excision over a twenty year period. The term cylindroma was in common usage until Foote and Frazell expressed their preference for the name adenoid cystic carcinoma in 1953. They credited the late James Ewing for having used that term for many years. The tumour has been variously referred to as “cylindroma,” “basiloma,” “adenocystic basiloid carcinoma,” and “adenoepithelioma”.
