Locally Advanced Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Right Submandibular Gland With Tuberculosis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is an aggressive form of salivary gland cancer that mostly affects the accessory, parotid, and submandibular salivary glands. This tumor is characterized by slower development, perineural invasion, and possible local recurrence in clinical and pathological findings. A male patient, aged 71, who was from a remote area, appeared with a lesion affecting the right submandibular gland and had been experiencing discomfort in the same region for four months. Following a biopsy and the histological confirmation of ACC in the right submandibular gland, the tumor was widely excised locally.
