Adenoid cystic carcinoma is an uncommon salivary gland tumor with high rate of recurrence and metastasis. The unpredicted clinical course is countered-back by regular clinical follow-up for at least >15 years. The traditional treatment protocol is surgery with postoperative radiotherapy to optimize local metastasis. Research has been carried out to understand the molecular biological process of the tumor that can cure the patients at high risk of recurrence. This article presents a case of sub-mandibular gland malignant neoplasm of a 34 years male patient.
