A patient with a history of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the nasal cavity presented himself with bone pain and an elevated PSA level. On suspicion of metastatic prostate cancer a 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT was performed. The PET-CT showed numerous lung and non-sclerotic bone metastasis. Biopsy of a bone metastasis was performed and pathology showed adenoid cystic carcinoma instead of prostate cancer. Immu...

Basal Cell Carcinoma is a common cutaneous malignancy, occurring primarily on the face . It has many histological variants. We present a case of a 71year old farmer with a nodule near outer canthus of the right eye, since six months. Histopathological examination of the excised nodule revealed a tumour composed of basaloid cells with an adenoid pattern of growth. Based on the histopathological ...

SETTINGS A tertiary academic pediatric specialty hospital and a tertiary academic hospital in 2 different cities. PATIENTS AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS Consecutive series of 55 parents of children who were seen for tonsil ...

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...

Adenoid cystic carcinomas are deceptive malignancies that show slow growth and local invasion with recurrences seen many years after diagnosis. Upto 50% of these tumors occur in the intraoral minor salivary glands usually in the hard palate. Buccal mucosal tumors are relatively rare. We determined the incidence of buccal mucosal adenoid cystic carcinoma by reviewing the number of reported cases...

The nasopharyngeal tonsil, or adenoid, is a lympho epithelial organ situated in a critical anatomical position i.e., the roof and posterior wall of nasopharynx. The adenoid is closely related to nasopharyngeal orifice of the Eustachian tube and paranasal sinuses ostia, particularly the ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses. The adenoid being a component of Waldeyer ring possesses particular immunologica...
