Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of Nasal Cavity in an Adolescent Male- A Rare Presentation
Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC) is uncommonly found outside the major or minor salivary glands and is especially rare when located in nasal cavity. A case report of 13 year old boy who presented with mass in nasal cavity and epistaxis is presented here. Endoscopic removal of mass was done and histopathology revealed ACC. ACCs are slow growing tumours with a propensity for frequent local recurrence and early perineural and haematogenous spread. Early diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion for this rare pathology.
