Abstract

Of all the tissues in the human body, perhaps the salivary glands have the most histologically heterogeneous group of tumours and the greatest diversity of morphologic features among their cells and tissue. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a clinically and pathologically well-defined entity that has been described extensively in literature so far. It occurs primarily in minor salivary glands and relatively frequently in oral major salivary glands .The report of such a case in oral cavity is discussed here.
