Adenoid cystic carcinoma

Adenoid cystic carcinoma, also known as cylindroma or adeno-carcinoma of cylindroma type, is the most common and most malignant epithelial tumor of the lacrimal gland. Lacrimal gland epithelial tumors are second only to pleomorphic adenomas in incidence. Because of its high concealment and strong invasiveness, it is late when it is discovered, and because it is adjacent to the mouth, nose, eyes, and skull base, it can cause damage to many surrounding organs, and it is easy to invade along nerves. The continuous improvement of modern treatment methods has found good prospects for comprehensive treatment.
