Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast constitutes approximately 0.1% of all breast tumors. They can be located in the trachea, bronchus, cervix, lacrimal gland, and skin as well as the breast. Tumors in the breast have better prognoses compared to those in other locations. The diagnosis and treatment planning of this tumor is challenging due to its rare incidence. In this article, we presented...

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...

A unique case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the left main bronchus is reported.

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 ...

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.

AIM To investigate the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the uterine cervix. METHODS Eleven archival, paraffin wax embedded specimens were analysed by non-isotopic in situ hybridisation (NISH) for HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, and 33 using digoxigenin labelled probes. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out on each of the cases using consensus primer...

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...

BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of salivary gland carcinomas is very complex and prognostic markers are difficult to find in these carcinomas of which the different subtypes have varying malignant potential. The study was conducted to examine the cellular distribution of maspin and MCM2 in salivary gland carcinomas and their value to predict lymph node metastasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty thre...

Breast adenoid cystic carcinoma (BACC) is a biologically distinct tumor with morphologic mimickers, which might make accurate classification problematic. Because c-kit expression has been reported in adenoid cystic carcinoma of various anatomic sites, we evaluated BACC for c-kit by immunohistochemical analysis, comparing the findings to similarly stained mimickers. Tested cases included 6 BACCs...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare tumour exhibiting dual population of myoepithelial and ductal cells, that represents 5–10% salivary gland tumours 1% all head neck malignancies.1 It characterised by protracted clinical course with late metastasis poor long-term prognosis.1 Its most common site haematogenous the lung, followed liver bone.1 Despite relatively pulmonary pleural involvement metas...
