title: [Report of 3 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the palate. Clinical, histological and therapeutical considerations].
abstract: Three cases of adenoid cyst carcinoma of the palate are reported. In this study clinical features, pathological findings, treatment and prognosis are analyzed. In the 1st and 2nd cases we unfortunately verified that the course of the tumors based in a slow-continuous infiltrating spread. Moreover, in our first patient a late diagnosis of it made the prognosis become worse.
