Abstract
- Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a very slowly growing and directly invasive cancer. The treatment of choice is complete surgical resection but if major complications associated with remaining carcinoma occur, aggressive conservative treatment to prevent complication is able to gain long term survival even though remaining carcinoma metastases to other organs. We experienced a case of surgical treatment of uncontrollable fever that caused by multiple lung abscesses due to obstruction of left main bronchus with adenoid cystic carcinoma. The post operative course was uneventful for 4 months to now.
