disfigured may lead to an impaired social life stemming from esthetic problems.
Among facial defects, nasal defects produce severe cosmetic impairment.
Rehabilitation of such defects subsequent to surgery is done
in a sequential manner, which includes a surgical, provisional, and definitive
prosthesis. Prosthesis
helps restore the patients' selfesteem and confidence, hence affecting the
patients and their life style.
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant perineural
tumour of the major and minor salivary glands, accounting for 2% of all head
and neck malignancies and approximately 10% of all salivary gland neoplasms.
