Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant salivary tumor that may arise in either major or minor salivary glands. Because of its frequent microscopic appearance resembling cross-sections of tubular structures (cylinders), it was previously referred to as “cylindroma.”. Clinically, adenoid cystic carcinoma is most common in the parotid gland, palate being the most common intraoral site.
