Adenoid cystic carcinoma (cylindroma) in the head and neck. A clinical review of 82 cases.
A review of 82 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma in the head and neck is given. Radical surgery was carried out in 33 patients and yielded the best long-term results. Radiation therapy was given to 43 patients for inoperable tumour, local recurrence or, postoperatively, for sub-clinical disease. It proved especially valuable in obtaining remissions from local recurrence.
