Abstract：
:Our experience with 184 previously untreated patients who had adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary gland origin is reviewed. Retrospective staging was possible in all but nine patients who had minor salivary gland primary tumors. Sixty-three percent of patients were diagnosed as having stage I or stage II disease (stage I, 64 patients; stage II, 47 patients), whereas 43 and 21 patients had stage III and IV tumors, respectively. Grading was as follows: cribriform pattern only (grade 1, 126 patients; 68%), mixed cribriform and solid features (grade 2, 48 patients; 26%), and solid only (grade 3, 10 patients; 5%). Treatment was predominantly surgical (174 patients), and relatively few patients received adjunctive, postoperative irradiation (27 patients). Cumulative 10-year survival was 75%, 43%, and 15% for stage I, stage II, and stage III and IV patients, respectively, and cause-specific survival at 10 years was as high as 94% in patients with stage I disease. Only the clinical stage had a significant impact on survival. Neither survival, regional metastases (16 patients; 11%), nor distant dissemination (64 patients; 43%) was predictable on the basis of tumor grade alone. The prognosis in patients with early stage lesions may be better than has been appreciated.
