Abstrakt: A 66-year-old female patient attended the oral stomatology clinic in 2021, complaining of discomfort in the palate due to the presence of a lesion, noticed 60 days ago, which prevented the use of the prosthesis but did not cause painful symptoms. Clinically, an extensive lesion was observed on the hard palate, on the left side, with a sessile base, an ulcerated and smooth surface on palpation, pink and purple in color. Radiographically, there was no observed alteration of the bone tissue in the region. The diagnostic hypotheses were mucoepidermoid carcinoma or a maxillary sinus lesion that expanded to the palate. After requesting laboratory tests, it was decided to perform an incisional biopsy and histopathological analysis of the specimens, which provided the diagnosis of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. Therefore, the patient was referred for oncological treatment, underwent surgery and radiotherapy sessions. Currently, she is not undergoing treatment and is being followed up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
