“…As aforementioned PCACC is characterized by a less aggressive behaviour compared to the analogous tumour arising in the salivary gland. The occurrence of lung and lymph nodes metastasis, in fact, is exceptionally rare in PCACC, 7–10 but, although infrequently, they can be found in ACCs arising from salivary gland and breast. Moreover perineural invasion, a hallmark feature of the salivary gland ACCs, may be absent in PCACC, as in the case described here.…”

Primary cutaneous adenoid-cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare slow-growing neoplasm of disputed histogenesis characterized by a cribriform pattern at histology and local aggressive behaviour. Up to date about 60 cases of PCACC have been reported in the literature. This tumour is most common in the scalp, affects middle-aged and older individuals (mean age 59) and has predilection for women. We describe an unexpected case of PCACC in a 32-years-old woman referred to our clinic for a subcutaneous nodule in the scalp showing a slow growth and indolent course. The differential diagnosis and the clinical management of this PCACC patient, successfully treated with a wide local excision, are presented and discussed.

“…In a recent review including 50 cases of PCACC, the largest series reported in the English literature, mean age at diagnosis was 59 years, with a slight female predominance 9. Although information on race is not uniformly specified in clinical series, reports of PCACC have originated from institutions in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia 12-14, 16, 17, 19, 25, 28, 33-35…”

Recurrent adenoid cystic carcinoma in the liver: a repeated laparoscopic surgical approach

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is characterized by a particularly aggressive behavior even many years after resection of primary tumor. The evolution of metastasis dramatically affects the final outcome but resection should always be evaluated. Herein is described a case of aggressive ACC of the parotid gland in a 30-year-old female. She developed local recurrence and lung metastases; then, she also developed two liver metastasis 112 and 132 months after the resection of the primitive cancer of the parotid gland. Both lesions were successfully managed by a laparoscopic approach. Intra-abdominal adhesions after the first surgery were mild, allowing an easier access for the second laparoscopic liver resection. At 1 year follow-up, the patient is liver disease free with a stable lung disease. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a double laparoscopic liver resection for parotid gland's ACC metachronous metastases. Patients with resected ACC need a strict and lifelong follow-up after the resection of the primitive cancer. Also for ACC, a laparoscopic approach to liver metastasis should always be considered as a viable alternative to open surgery. In our experience of over 90 cases, laparoscopic surgery causes less adhesions, allowing an easier approach for repeated resections.
