Abstract
- Adenoid cystic carcinoma is one of the most common minor salivary gland malignancies of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity and has a propensity for frequent local recurrencesand distant metastasis. It sometimes has variable histopathologic patterns in the same tumor, which makes diagnosis difficult. A very rare case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the nasal septum, initially thought to be pleomorphic adenoma, is presented along with a review of the literature.
