Abstract

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a type of malignant tumor arising from the salivary glands. The tumor is characterized by a predilection for recurrence and metastasis. At present, there is no effective treatment for ACC complicated with lung metastasis. The present study reported on a case of suboral ACC with bilateral lung metastasis and the clinical features and treatment options were discussed based on a literature review. A 55‑year‑old female presented with suboral ACC accompanied with bilateral lung metastases. The main symptoms were masses in the right mandible and shortness of breath. Low‑dose radiotherapy (LDRT) combined with immunotherapy were administered to control lung metastases. The patient is currently in a stable condition and is receiving immunotherapy. LDRT combined with immunotherapy is a feasible treatment option for such patients. Our experience with this case and the information from the literature review provide insight into the therapeutic approach for this relatively rare entity.
