For adenoid cystic, I most often (and definitely would with just path PNI, even if not a named nerve) use an SIB plan and treat the operative bed/preop tumor area to 60 Gy @ 2 Gy/fraction and chase the nerve back to the skull base at 1.7 Gy/fraction (51 Gy). I don't usually treat elective lymph nodes.
I answered this way and contoured as such on a boards case and my examiner seemed very pleased with this plan, for whatever that's worth.
With that said, if there was absolutely no PNI noted on path, I don't think it's "wrong" to just treat the operative bed. I would take into account tumor size, margins, co morbidities, etc and make the call then. I feel more strongly about covering back to skull base with PNI, so kind of wishy-washy without it.
