Abstract
We describe a case of ovarian adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the left ovary in a 23-year-old woman. The tumor had the typical cribriform pattern of ACC, lacked any component of surface epithelial carcinoma, and showed myoepithelial differentiation. The features of salivary gland-type tumor seen in this case are unusual and different from those of so-called ACC-like carcinomas of the ovary, which only resemble the salivary gland tumor histologically.
