Acinic cell carcinoma of the buccal mucosa with reconstruction by submental island flap
Abstract
Background
We report a case of acinic cell carcinoma (AciCC) of the buccal mucosa with reconstruction by submental island flap.
Case Presentation
A 79-year-old man became aware of a mass on his left buccal mucosa. We diagnosed AciCC and performed resection of malignant salivary gland tumor of buccal mucosa and reconstruction with submental island flap.
