Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant tumor that frequently arises in the major salivary glands. ACC originating in the subglottic region is very rare. Only 13 cases of subglottic ACC have been reported in the Japanese literature.
We report a case of ACC of the subglottic region.
A 57-year-old female complained of hoarsness and dyspnea. Fiberscopic examination revealed a tumor in the subglottic region.
The histological diagnosis was ACC. The patient underwent a total laryngectomy. There has been no recurrence and no distant metastasis.
