Abstract:
Adenoid cystic carcinoma initially diagnosed and treated as hemangioma. A case diagnosed as having a hemangioma of the soft palate according to clinical and arteriographic findings is discussed. Recurrence appeared one year after embolization. Arteriography showed no vascular lesion and histopathologic study revealed an adenoid cystic carcinoma. It is stated that imaging studies may be insufficient.
