Abstract

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a less commonly diagnosed cancer that may affect the major or minor salivary glands. We present a 70 year old male patient who was admitted to the Department of Oral Medicine, School of Dental Medicine in Zagreb, Croatia due to pain in the right maxilla. In this case we report a case of the patient with unilateral pain in the maxilla & eye which lead to the diagnosis of adenoid cystic cancer without any visible oral lesions.

Keywords

Carcinoma, Adenoid Cystic; Salivary Gland Neoplasms; Unilateral Pain in the Maxilla & Eye
