An adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the lung is a malignant tumor that arises in ducts of bronchial submucosal mucous glands. ACC of the lower respiratory tract constitutes ≤0.2% of all primary pulmonary tumors. A diagnosis of ACC on cytology is uncommon even on exfoliative cytology, as well as fine needle aspiration cytology. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of bronchial ...

Aplasia Cutis Conginita (ACC) is a condition characterized by congenital absence of skin, usually on the scalp. ACC can occur as an isolated condition or in the presence of other congenital anomalies. Here we describe a case of a 16 days old baby girl with an isolated ACC of the scalp. Her elder two siblings have been diagnosed with ACC with concomitant cardiac or limb anomalies. The patient wa...

CONTEXT Adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC) are a rare tumor type with a poor five-year survival rate and limited treatment options. OBJECTIVE Understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of this disease has been aided by genomic analyses highlighting alterations in TP53, WNT, and IGF signaling pathways. Further elucidation is needed to reveal therapeutically actionable targets in ACC. DESIGN In...

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) despite being a rare endocrine malignancy arising from adrenal cortex carries poor prognosis. It is also challenging to diagnose these tumours preoperatively especially if it non-functioning tumour. As the rarity of disease pose great challenge in taking up statistically significant studies that would be needed improve management strategies and outcomes ACC, all r...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare cancer with high potential for recurrence and metastasis. Efficacy of current treatment options, particularly for advanced disease, is very limited. Recent whole genome and exome sequencing has dramatically improved our understanding of ACC pathogenesis. A balanced translocation resulting in the MYB-NFIB fusion gene appears to be a fundamental signature ...

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare condition with an unclear pathogenic mechanism, although the condition has been suggested to occur as a result of the disrupted development or degeneration of skin in utero. ACC associated with fetus papyraceus has been described in numerous studies. Although there have been several reports of ACC, surgical treatment of ACC using the head as a site of don...

Although intact fruits of unripe cantaloupe (Cucumis melo L.) produce very little ethylene, a massive increase in ethylene production occurred in response to excision. The evidence indicates that this wound ethylene is produced from methionine via 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid (ACC) as in ripening fruits. Excision induced an increase in both ACC synthase and the enzyme converting ACC to et...

Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) of the pancreas is a rare malignancy making up approximately 1% of pancreatic non-endocrine malignant tumors. The common finding on computed tomography is a solitary, well-defined, heterogenous hypodense mass with enhancing capsule. ACC is a highly cellular tumor with minimal stroma and a lack of stromal desmoplasia. The accurate diagnosis of ACC cannot typically be ...
