ABSTRACT
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) commonly originates in the major salivary glands and respiratory tract, but it is extremely rare to find ACC in the esophagus. ACC of the esophagus is clinopathologically different from the salivary gland variant. It shows more aggressive malignant behavior and a very poor prognosis. We report here on the surgical and clinopathologic findings of an ACC of the esophagus in a 65-year-old man, and we also include a review of the relevant medical literature
