Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is malignant neoplasm of the salivary glands. It accounts for most cases of minor salivary gland malignancies and a substantial proportion of parotid and submandibular gland malignancies. ACC is associated with a high mortality rate, and it often recurs after prolonged periods of time, and this occurs even when radical excision has been performed.
