“…Adenoid cystic carcinoma is the most common of the salivary gland-like tumors arising from the trachea and bronchi. This lesion is more common in the former in that it comprises 20-35% of all cases of tracheal carcinoma [6,7] and accounts for 0.3-2% of cases of bronchogenic carcinoma [ 1,8].…”

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the tracheobronchial tree in five patients was treated surgically and the clinicopathologic manifestations and histogenesis were examined in detail. Symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, and atelectasis on chest X-ray were present in four patients, and the other patient was asymptomatic. Histologically, growth patterns were classified as tubular, cribriform, and solid. The solid pattern was the most aggressive with extensive perineural invasion. Immunohistochemically, secretory component, lactoferrin, and epithelial membrane antigen were present in the cells lining the gland-like lumen of tissues with the tubular and cribriform patterns, but was rare in those with a solid pattern. Desmin and S-100 protein were detected in the nonlining cells of tissues with all three patterns. These findings suggest that this tumor originates from the myoepithelial cells of the bronchial gland and that the solid pattern was the most poorly differentiated form.

“…The infiltrative nature of the tumor requires a more radical resection. If the tumor shows markedly infiltrative growth at the surgical margin, radiation therapy will be palliative for the residual tumor [30]. Attempts have been made to correlate the different clinicopathologic aspects of adenoid cystic carcinoma with the biologic behavior [3 11.…”

Lung cancer has considerable treatment problems, with a poor 5-yr survival rate after surgery. Application of histopathological and immunohistopathological subtyping have proven to be powerful tools for the assessment of prognosis. Results in 33 patients with small cell carcinoma, 44 with large cell carcinoma, and five with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung are discussed. The 5-yr survival rates in patients with small cell carcinoma of the oat cell type and intermediate type were 24 and 44%, respectively. Argyrophilic granules and neuron-specific enolase, neuroendocrine markers, were detected more frequently in the oat cell type rather than in the intermediate type. In contrast, keratin, epithelial membrane antigen, and carcinoembryonic antigen, epithelial origin markers, were present more frequently in the intermediate type than in the oat cell type. The 5-yr survival rates with large cell carcinoma of the compact growth type and the loose structure type were 46 and 28%, respectively, based on evidence of morphologically intercellular cohesion. The epithelial origin markers were detectable and more frequent in the compact growth type than in the loose structure type. The growth patterns of adenoid cystic carcinoma are classified as tubular, cribriform, and solid. The solid pattern was the most aggressive with extensive perineural invasion. We propose that the pathological properties of lung cancer should be examined as a prognostic implication of subtyping.

“…Favourable responses to radiotherapy have been reported with cylindromas regarded as unresectable.9 10 Where the primary tumour can be resected the prognosis is good: prolonged survival is possible even with distant metastases, because these tumours grow so slowly."' Improving the surgical management of biliary atresia For the infant with biliary atresia the only hope of prolonged survival lies in early diagnosis and effective surgery.…”
