Abstract

Intra-mandibular localization of adenoid cystic carcinoma is rare. This tumor is characterized by progressive local, regional, and distant aggressiveness. We reviewed the latest data on this rare type of cancer with a small number of reported cases, alack of consensus for its treatment, and its bad prognosis.

Keywords: Adenoid cystic carcinoma; Carcinome adénoïde kystique; Mandible; Mandibule.
