59 years old male with local advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma of the hypopharynx - A case report and a review of the literature.

Minor Salivary Gland tumours are rare, representing 2% of the head and neck tumours and less than 1% of hypopharyngeal cancers. The most common subtype of minor salivary gland tumours is adenoid cystic carcinoma. Although there are several case reports discussed it, there are only two reports discussing hypopharyngeal presentation in the literature, and they were treated by surgical resection. Despite that, our case report still to be unique as it presents a case of irresectable locally advanced tumour subjected to a trial of induction therapy.
