A torus‐like sublingual adenoid cystic carcinoma in a 35‐year‐old male: Review of literature and case report

Abstract

Key Clinical Message The case report describes an adenoid cystic carcinoma occurring at a rare location and the diagnostic pathway. Swellings of the floor of the mouth, whether painful or without subjective symptoms and regardless of consistency, should be taken seriously. Abstract Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ADCC) of the sublingual salivary gland only accounts for 2% of all ADCCs. In this study, we report a rare case of ADCC with sublingual salivary gland origin in a 35‐year‐old man and a comprehensive review of articles published over the past 62 years.
