title: Uncontrolled central adenoid cystic carcinoma: case report.
abstract: Central adenoid cystic carcinomas are rare malignancies that are believed to arise in ectopic salivary gland tissue within the maxilla or mandible. We describe the diagnosis and treatment of a central adenoid cystic carcinoma in a 54-year-old man, which we believe was a recurrence of an earlier growth that had not been completely excised. We also present a review of the literature.
