Abstract
Twenty-five cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck region were reported. The tumors were divided into 4 histological malignancy groups. Treatment generally consisted of surgery performed with the largest margin possible combined with split course million volt therapy, about 6000 rad, usually given preoperatively. The patients in the groups of lower malignancy generally managed for a comparatively long time without a clinically demonstrable recurrence, while the patients in the groups of higher malignancy relapsed rather quickly and often had metastases. The patients in the groups of higher malignancy also died relatively soon after treatment.
