Abstract
Purpose: This study was to investigate clinical feature of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) in the major salivary gland. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was undertaken for 23 patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the major salivary gland, who completed postoperative radiotherapy at the Yonsei Cancer Center, Yonsei University Hospital between May 1981 and December 1999. The male to female ratio was 1.1:1. Median age was 50. Follow up periods were 12-180 months with the median follow-up time of 59 months. Results: Parotid gland, submandibular gland and sublingual gland were 17, 5 and 1 respectively. Overall failure rate was 26%. Local failure was observed in two patients with parotid gland origin. Five cases showed distant failure. Overall and disease free survival rate were 68% and 72% respectively. Conclusion: Major pattern of failure was distant failure. Resection margin status had not prognostic significance. Postoperative radiation treatment is an effective to control in the adenoid cystic carcinoma of the major salivary gland.
