The authors describe a rare case of adenoid-cystic carcinoma localized in the anterior tongue. The neoplasia is made up of epithelial and myo-epithelial cells, organized frequently in islands with cribriform aspect, was circumscribed by a thin fibrous capsule that was focally infiltrated in the proximity of the deep margin. At the physical examination no local regional lymph nodes were absent. The surgical excision and radiotherapy constituted the only therapeutic protocol. Absence of local relapse and/or distant metastasis after eight years from the operation confirm the low aggressiveness of the neoplasia when localized in the anterior part of the tongue. |
