Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is usually a slow growing but highly malignant neoplasm with a remarkable capacity for recurrence. It mainly affects salivary glands, palate and is rare in the nose and paranasal sinuses. A case report of 38 years old male with ACC of left nasal cavity who presented with gradually progressing left sided nasal obstruction is presented here. The CT scan showed mass in left nasal cavity eroding anterior part of medial wall of maxillary sinus. The tumor was excised with wide margin through a lateral rhinotomy approach under general anaesthesia. Histopathological report confirmed it to be a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma. The sinonasal ACC has an overall poor prognosis due to perineural invasion and post-operative radiotherapy may improve the prognosis.
