Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm most commonly originating in the minor salivary glands of head and neck region. Among intra
oral adenoid cystic carcinoma, buccal mucosa is one of the rarer sites. Here, we report a case of recurrent adenoid cystic carcinoma of the right
buccal mucosa in a 33 year old female. As this is an uncommon site for adenoid cystic carcinoma, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis
of mass of buccal mucosa. It is imperative that we identify such cases and plan for early surgical excision with adequate margins.
