Vulval Cancer

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.

Carcinoma Buccal Mucosa

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.

Current Report

Primary pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinomas are salivary tumors that are low-grade malignant and prone to recurrence and metastasis. Surgery is currently the main treatment, but there is no standard with regard to postoperative adjuvant therapy. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is more sensitive to radiotherapy and patients benefit less from chemotherapy, but few studies have focused on targeted therapy, and their conclusions are inconsistent. With respect to primary pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma, large-scale studies cannot be conducted due to its low incidence, and studies on the targeted therapy of it are very scarce. A few case reports indicate that targeted therapy can be effective however, suggesting that it may be a good option. The current report is the first on the occurrence of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 amplification in pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma. The patient was treated with pyrotinib for 6 months and achieved stable disease.

Carcinoma Of The Tongue

A retrospective review of 14 patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the tongue treated between 1955 and 1997 was performed. Treatment consisted of surgery (n = 2), radiotherapy (n = 2), chemotherapy (n = 1), or combination therapy (n = 9). The 2-, 5-, and 10-year absolute survival rates were 92%, 79%, and 63%, respectively. Seventy-five percent of the patients who died of cancer succumbed to distant metastases. However, long-term survival was common despite a high incidence of local and distant recurrence. The presence of positive surgical margins, the incidence of regional metastases, the incidence of perineural invasion, the initial stage of disease, and the eventual development of locoregional recurrence and distant metastases did not significantly alter the survival rate. Surgical extirpation combined with postoperative radiotherapy is advocated for the treatment of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the tongue. Given the indolent nature of this disease process, surgery should be directed toward conservation of speech and swallowing function.

Type 2 branchial cleft anomalies are the most common cause of lateral neck swelling. We report two cases of type 2 branchial cleft anomalies. The first case is branchial cleft cyst and the second one is branchial fistula. Both cases were managed surgically. The post operative outcomes were uneventful. Second branchial cleft anomalies are the most common branchial anomalies. Branchial cysts are more common than sinuses and branchial fistulae are extremely rare. There is no gender predilection. The location, clinical symptoms and imaging findings aid in the diagnosis of this condition. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment.Keywords: branchial cleft; branchial cyst; branchial fistula.

Background Adenoid cystic carcinoma is an uncommon tumor of the salivary gland. Little has been published on the chemotherapy of this neoplasm. Methods The literature on this disease is reviewed, and data from seven unpublished cases are presented. Results Four patients received cyclophosphamide. One responded, and another had pain relief. The literature review did not identify any single drug or combination that might be regarded as the treatment of choice. Conclusions Systematic, multi-institutional studies are required to determine appropriate systemic treatment for metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary gland origin.

Objective: To report a diagnostic challenge of primary sphenoid adenoid cystic carcinoma. Case summary: A 60-year-old premorbid healthy lady presented with progressive deterioration of visual acuity of the left eye associated with diplopia, left epiphora and left ear blockage for two weeks duration. Examination revealed a ‘non perception of light’ (NPL) of the left eye with left abducent nerve palsy. The nasoendoscopic findings were unremarkable. Initial computed tomography of the brain and paranasal sinus showed a large clivus tumor with intracranial extension while subsequent magnetic resonance detected the epicenter of the tumour appeared to be in the sphenoid sinus with extension to the surrounding structures. A transeptal transsphenoidal biopsy was done reported as mixed pattern adenoid cystic adenocarcinoma. Discussion: Primary sphenoid adenoid cystic carcinoma is an extremely rare slow growing malignancy with non-specific clinical symptoms. The neuro-ophthalmology symptoms are the main presentation. Combined computed tomography and magnetic resonance images are essential in establishing differential diagnosis and to delineate the extent of this disease. Combined modality of surgery and postoperative radiation for adenoid cystic carcinoma has proven better results. Conclusions: Primary sphenoid adenoid cystic carcinoma poses a diagnostic challenge clinically. Combined radiological characteristic from computed tomography and magnetic resonance images are essential to aid the diagnosis.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(2) 2016 p.297-302
