A case of an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the minor salivary glands of then nasal cavity is reported. The tumour had spread locally and by perineural spread to the internal auditory mentus, causing facial nerve palsy.

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...

Our experience with 12 papillary breast lesions included eight intraductal papillomas, three primary papillary carcinomas, and one metastatic papillary ovarian carcinoma. Five of the eight intraductal papillomas displayed diagnostic findings including tridimensional papillary fragments of ductal cells with distended cytoplasmic vacoules and dense scalloped cytoplasm. Three intraductal papilloma...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland has been encountered in 11 patients at the University of Michigan Medical Center since 1936. At the time of presentation the average age was 48.9 years, the lesion size was between 0.5 to 4 cm. The presenting symptoms were pain and/or pruritis associated with a solitary mass. Early in this series, excisional biopsy was used to treat eight patien...

Esophageal localization of adenoid cystic carcinoma of minor salivary glands is rare; it may occur in the early to mid-sixties' age group and is more frequently encountered in men than women. In the majority of cases, it arises from subepithelial glands of the middle to lower third of the esophagus, a similar distribution as squamous cell carcinoma. Prognosis depends mostly on tumor staging and...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is usually a slow growing but highly malignant neoplasm with a remarkable capacity for recurrence. It mainly affects salivary glands, palate and is rare in the nose and paranasal sinuses. A case report of 38 years old male with ACC of left nasal cavity who presented with gradually progressing left sided nasal obstruction is presented here. The CT scan showed mass ...

The authors report a rare case of primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin initially diagnosed as a metastatic adenocarcinoma. The tumor occurred in the right axilla in a 75-year-old man. Initial pathological diagnosis was metastatic adenocarcinoma. However, no primary focus was found in the body. The revised diagnosis by the authors was primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma. The tumor (1.5 cm) wa...

In 1972, a 42 year old patient underwent thoracotomy for adenoid cystic carcinoma of the left main-stem bronchus. Pneumonectomy was performed, but the resection was not complete as the tumour had invaded the aortic and tracheal wall. The patient did not receive postoperative radiotherapy. In 1993, the patient was readmitted with severe respiratory insufficiency due to complete endobronchial tum...

We describe 15 patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary glands treated by radiotherapy from 1960 to 1978. All patients were treated for localized disease either definitively or after surgical resection. The site of origin and local tumor extensions are reviewed and the results of treatment analyzed. Eighty-three percent of the tumors were controlled by combined treatment (surgery ...

Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumor that typically originates from the minor and major salivary glands. This type of cancer known for its protracted clinical course, characterized by slow growth, extensive invasion, ability to generate distant recurrent metastases, commonly affecting lungs bones. While ACC metastases have been observed in various anatomical loca...
