Coexistence of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma and Sialolithiasis in Submandibular Gland: Case Report

Vural Akın Mehmet Emre Sivrice Veysel Atilla Ayyıldız Mehmet Kıran

Abstrak

Sialolithiasis is the primary cause of swelling in the major salivary glands. The etiopathogenesis is not clear. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a slow-growing salivary gland malignancy with a poor prognosis. There are only a few cases in the literature reporting the coexistence of sialolithiasis and adenoid cystic carcinoma. In this report, we present a case that was thought to have sialolithiasis in the foreground because of the calcified image on computed tomography, but was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma after excision, together with a discussion of the relationship between sialolithiasis and carcinogenesis.
