Adenoid cystic carcinoma, formerly known as "cylindricoma", is the most common and malignant epithelial tumor of lacrimal gland,

Recurrence of adenoid cystic carcinoma

In the early stage, most of them were painless masses. A few cases had pain when they were found, and the nature of pain was intermittent or persistent. Some of the pain is mild, some can be severe. The course of disease is longer, several months or years. The tumor is generally small, mostly in 1-3 cm.

The shape and characteristics of the mass can be similar to mixed tumor, round or nodular, smooth. Most of the masses had unclear boundary, poor mobility, and some were fixed and adhered to the surrounding tissues.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the parotid gland can cause facial paralysis and extend along the facial nerve to involve the mastoid process and temporal bone; Adenoid cystic carcinoma of submandibular gland or sublingual gland can extend along the lingual nerve or sublingual nerve to the location far away from the primary tumor, and cause disturbance of tongue perception and movement on the affected side; Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the palate can extend into the brain along the maxillary nerve, destroy the skull base bone and cause severe pain. The tumor often invades the adjacent bone tissue, such as submandibular gland and sublingual gland, which often involves the mandible; In the palatal region, the palatal bone is often involved.

matters needing attention

Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment can improve the cure rate and survival rate of the disease. Keep oral cavity clean, prevent wound infection, promote wound healing as soon as possible.
