Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm most commonly originating in the minor salivary glands of head and neck region. Among intra oral adenoid cystic carcinoma, buccal mucosa is one of the rarer sites. Here, we report a case of recurrent adenoid cystic carcinoma of the right buccal mucosa in a 33 year old female. As this is an uncommon site for adenoid cystic carcinoma, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis of mass of buccal mucosa. It is imperative that we identify such cases and plan for early surgical excision with adequate margins.

A rare case of bilateral basal-cell adenomas in the parotid glands of a 65-year-old woman is reported. There have been only four previous reported cases of bilateral parotid basal-cell adenomas, all of which occurred synchronously with dermal cylindromas. The present lesion is the first case reported in the English literature of bilateral parotid basal-cell adenoma without coexisting dermal cylindroma. Histological examination revealed that the left tumour had adenoid cystic change, which closely resembled adenoid cystic carcinoma. This case is of interest not only because of the raity of bilateral parotid basal-cell adenomas, but also because of the necessity for differentiation from adenoid cystic carcinoma in order to plan appropriate treatment.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin Gland (BG-ACC) is a rare form of vulval cancer with only approximately 350 reported cases since 1864. A review of available literature and case reports suggests an aggressive nature with protracted clinical symptoms and a tendency for local recurrence despite adequate surgical excision with or without adjuvant radiotherapy. Survival rates of 71% and 59% are reported at five and ten years. This case report endeavours to add to our body of knowledge regarding this rare disease and thus help broaden and improve our understanding of management and treatment success.

AbstractAdenoid cystic carcinoma is the commonest tumour of minor salivary glands. In the case described here a pulmonary mass was found. This was likely to be a distant metastasis, particularly as the primary tumour was of cribriform subtype with perineural invasion and resection was microscopically incomplete. However, surgical excision of the pulmonary mass enabled histopathological studies to be carried out which found it to be an unrelated bronchioloalveolar carcinoma.

<p>Pedunculated primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of larynx is an uncommon form of malignant neoplasm. This case is an extremely rare entity and hence reported. Until today this type of carcinoma is not reported in medical literature. A 55 year old female patient came with 6 months history of dyspnoea and foreign body sensation in throat and occasional change of voice. Micro laryngeal surgical excision of the pedunculated polyp was done under general anaesthesia using diathermy cautery and specimen was sent for histopathological examination, perineural spread of the tumour is highlighted. The pedunculated polyp from the arytenoid looked like a benign lesion and histopathological examination showed the lesion to be adenoid cystic carcinoma. </p>

Thirty-four cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the major and minor salivary glands of the oral cavity, treated by wide surgical excision, were studied. The relationship between prognosis of the neoplasm and various morphologic factors were evaluated. Among the morphologic parameters previously studied, which according to various authors may be linked to the evolution of this tumor, we confirmed correlations for both histologic patterns and perineural invasion. In addition, the authors propose neoplastic growth type as a new parameter prognostically significant in ACC. In fact, none of the patients with the pushing type growth pattern died during the study period (p = 0.007). These same patients presented disease-free periods (mean 56 months, median 58 months) significantly longer than those with the infiltrating type growth pattern (mean 28 months, median 24 months).

Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare glandular neoplasm that mimics benign lesions both clinically and histologically making it a diagnostic challenge. Although indolent, ACC has potential for local regional and distant metastasis and even after surgical excision, there is a high recurrence rate. This report outlines a case of a PPACC and reviews current therapeutic approaches.

AbstractA case of basal cell adenocarcinoma of the parotid gland is reported. Histologically it is to be distinguished from basal cell adenoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma. Clinically the presentation may appear benign. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. The prognosis is uncertain because of lack of follow-up data.

Objective The present study was performed to explore the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin’s gland. Methods The clinical data of a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin’s gland were examined, and the clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and treatment were analyzed. Results Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin’s gland has a low incidence. The main clinical manifestations are vulvar lumps, dyspareunia, pain, itching, and bleeding. The diagnosis is based on gynecological examination and pathological biopsy, and the treatment is mainly surgical excision. Conclusion Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin’s gland is rare and lacks specificity. Pathological biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis, and surgical resection should be performed for treatment.
