Abstract

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare tumour which mainly affects the major and accessory salivary glands. We report 5 new cases affecting the nose and sinuses, and based on these review the literature to determine how this disorder can be better treated, given the significant morbidity and mortality of the condition.
