“…FDG-PET scan shows variable uptake in case of AdCC depending on the differentiation and grade as compared to squamous cell carcinoma, which usually shows high uptake [39]. FDG-PET scan expresses high sensitivity in cases of residual/recurrent tumour or local metastasis of AdCC (Figure 1) [40,41].…”

Salivary gland tumours are rare tumours of larynx, hypopharynx and parapharyngeal space. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) is the most common malignant salivary gland tumour of larynx. Subglottic region is the most common site followed by supraglottic region. AdCC usually involves elderly patients. Etiology of AdCC is mostly unknown. Clinically patient presents with dysphagia, cough, dyspnoea, hoarseness and rarely haemoptysis. Indirect laryngoscopy shows submucosal laryngeal mass. On CT scan, there is a submucosal mass, which may show extra-laryngeal extension. Histopathological examination shows epithelial and myoepithelial cells arranged in cribriform pattern, which may present with perineural invasion in the periphery of the lesion. Patients usually present in a later course of the disease. Tumour may present with pulmonary metastasis. The surgical approach depends on the tumour stage.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Prognosis of Laryngeal Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma: A Case Report and a Literature Review

Laryngeal adenoid cystic carcinoma (LACC) is a sporadic neoplasm, especially if supraglottic. The COVID-19 pandemic worsened the presenting stage of many cancers and impacted their prognosis negatively. Here, a case of a patient with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) with delayed diagnosis and a rapid deterioration with distant metastasis due to the COVID-19 pandemic is illustrated. Next, we present a literature review of this rare glottic ACC. The COVID-19 pandemic worsened the stage of presentation of many cancers and adversely affected their prognosis. The present case had a rapidly lethal course, undoubtedly due to the diagnosis delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted the prognosis of this rare glottic ACC. Strict follow-up is recommended for any suspicious clinical findings, as an early diagnosis will improve the disease prognosis, and to consider the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially on the timing of common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for oncological diseases. In the post-COVID-19 era, it is important to generate new diagnostic scenarios to achieve an increasingly rapid diagnosis of oncological diseases, especially the rare ones, through screening or similar procedures.
