Objective. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognostic factors of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck (ACCHN).Study Design. This was a retrospective study of 218 patients with ACCHN.Results. The cohort included 110 men and 108 women; the parotid and the palate were the most common site of involvement. Of 203 patients with follow-up information (range 2-132 months), 57 had died of the tumor. Distant metastasis (DM) and local recurrence (LR) were documented in 83 (40.9%) and 34 (16.7%) patients, respectively. Cox regression analysis indicated that a solid pattern was a marker for LR and that positive margins and older age were risk factors for DM. Histologic pattern, T stage, N stage, LR, DM, and patient age contributed to the prediction of disease-specific survival.Conclusions. A solid pattern, metastasis, LR, and older age are the most important factors for predicting poor prognosis in Chinese patients with ACCHN.
