Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is the second most common malignant epithelial tumor of the salivary glands.The aim of this case report was to present a solid ACC case seen in the parotid gland. A 69-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of swelling, pain and paraesthesia in the posterior right mandible. In clinical examination mandibular ulcerated areas were observed. Submandibular and cervical lymphadenopathies and an expansive mass were detected in the buccal mucosa. In panoramic radiography, a radiolucent lesion was observed in the right ramus mandible, and in cone beam computed tomography(CBCT) it was determined that lesion caused bone destruction. As result of the biopsy, it was reported as ACC and excision was recommended. Early diagnosis and treatment is very important in terms of survival and prevention of metastasis to distant areas. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and evaluation will affect the treatment success.
