Abstract
Although adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is the most common tumor of the minor salivary glands, it’s relatively rare to affect the lower lip. Its non-specific clinical presentation may pose a diagnostic dilemma. Therefore, biopsy and histological examination are of extreme importance to establish the final diagnosis. In this paper, we report a case of ACC of the lower lip occurring in 35-year old patient mimicking a benign lesion.
