OBJECTIVES Multiple treatment options exist for management of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland. Our objective was to perform an analysis of outcomes in a cohort of patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland treated identically with an orbitocranial approach. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 7 consecutive patients who presented to a tertiary care a...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the nasal cavity is a rare malignancy. It slowly progressive disease, characterized by local recurrences and distant metastases requires early adequate management. We report case fossa will discuss diagnostic therapeutic characteristics in highlight review literature.

background: cylindroma of the breast is a rarely described tumor that closely resembles its dermal counterpart. case presentation: we report a case of a 55-year-old woman with an incidental finding of a left breast mass on screening mammography. on histologic examination, the tumor was found to be consistent with cylindroma of the breast. conclusion: generally considered to be a benign lesion, ...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of the salivary gland. Salivary gland neoplasms constitute 3% cancers all sites, which, 10–15% are malignant. Though adenoid most common tumor submandibular, sublingual and minor glands, it accounts for only 15% parotid cancers. They generally slow-growing spread relentlessly to adjacent structures. Hematogenous more than lymphatic spread, s...

CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of an aggressive presentation in a 65-year-old woman, of Belgian origin, who was diagnosed as having adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast and developed metastases to her lung, kidney, and brain. ...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is the second most common malignant tumor affecting both major and minor salivary glands. Clinically, it is a slowly growing tumor with high propensity for local invasion, recurrence and distant metastasis. It is predominantly seen in the ffith and sixth decades of life. Here, we report a rare case of ACC affecting the right maxilla of a 12-year-old girl. How to c...

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 ...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ADCC) is a pathology aff ecting exocrine glands originating primarily from the minor salivary glands. Although rare in incidence, but there are cases of seeding of cells of adenoid cystic carcinoma into intracranial sites via diff erent routes. We report of an intriguing case of remote metastasis of an intracranial tumor in the pituitary diagnosed as pituitary adenoma ...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare epithelial tumour, and comprises about 1% of all malignant tumours of the oral and maxillofacial region. It is a malignant tumour which may develop in the trachea, bronchus, lungs or mammary glands, in addition to the head and neck region. Occurrences in the head and neck are mostly detected in the major salivary gland, oral cavity, pharynx and paranasal sinus...
