## BACKGROUND. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant tumor of salivary gland origin. It tends to grow slowly but shows frequent recurrence and metastasis, ultimately with a poor outcome. Reduced expression of a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, p27 Kip1 , has been reported to correlate wit
## Abstract ## Background. Paclitaxel is not considered to be an active drug in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the salivary glands. We report 2 consecutive cases of patients with ACC who responded to paclitaxel. ## Methods. The patients were: (1) a 58βyearβold man with recurrent ACC who devel
The chromosomal findings in 10 adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) of the salivary glands are described. Clonal numerical deviations as the sole anomaly were detected in four cases and structurally rearranged stemlines and sidelines in four cases. An apparently identical t(6;9)(q23;p2 I) was found in tw
