adenoid cystic carcinoma of bartholin’s gland is a rare malignant tumor of female genital tract. we report a case of a 42-year-old woman, presenting a palpable painful mass and burning sensation on the left side of vulva during the preceding two months. based on examination, a solid fixed painful nodule with intact mucosa was palpated on the left side of the vagina. histological features were c...

Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare glandular neoplasm that mimics benign lesions both clinically and histologically making it diagnostic challenge. Although indolent, ACC has potential for local regional distant metastasis even after surgical excision, there high recurrence rate. This report outlines case of PPACC reviews current therapeutic approaches.

Histologic grade is a significant predictor of outcome in salivary gland carcinomas. However, the sheer variety of tumor type and the rarity of these tumors pose challenges to devising highly predictive grading schemes. As our knowledge base has evolved, it is clear that carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is not automatically a high grade tumor as is traditionally suggested. These tumors should b...

We compared 4 breast cylindromas with 50 dermal cylindromas and 8 adenoid cystic breast carcinomas. Except for a modest increase in the number of eccrine ducts and reactive Langerhans cells in dermal cylindromas, breast and dermal cylindromas showed identical histologic and immunohistochemical features. Both were characterized by epithelial islands containing central basaloid cells and peripher...

We report a case of perineural spread of adenoid cystic carcinoma along the greater superficial petrosal nerve. The anatomy of this nerve also is reviewed.

Pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma (PACC) is an extremely rare neoplasm. Adenoid (ACC) usually occurs in the salivary glands of head and neck. Given its occurrence, there are no established guidelines for treatment progressive and/or relapsed disease. We herein report a case 57-year-old female who was incidentally found to have biopsy confirmed PACC following trauma diagnostic workup. She under...

Although very rare, cystic adenoid carcinoma (CAC) should be considered as a differential diagnosis for any lung tumor arising from the bronchial glands. The is typically confirmed through histological examination, and treatment primarily based on surgical intervention. In this report, we present case of an 82-year-old male with primary CAC lung.

Adenoid basal carcinoma of the uterine cervix is uncommon neoplasia mostly occurring in postmenopausal women. It has excellent prognosis and a favorable clinical course. In addition, adenoid basal carcinoma is differentiated from adenoid cystic carcinoma by histologic and cellular morphologies, and immunohistochemistry. In this paper, we present the case of a 22 year old Korean female. She init...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting perineural spread (PNS) of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck to the skull base. DESIGN Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck frequently exhibits PNS across the skull base. Failure to detect PNS before treatment can have significant negative co...
