Adenoid cystic carcinoma - Highlights

hackdentistry.substack.com
  • Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) is an aggressive salivary gland neoplasm, reported to be the second most common malignant salivary gland tumor after Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC).

  • However, there are also reports which say AdCC is the 5th most common malignant salivary gland tumor.

📝Here are some "Highlights" or a high level overview of Adenoid cystic carcinoma

  • AdCC was previously called "Cylindroma", a term that is no more used to refer to AdCC.

  • AdCC is known to mostly occur on the minor salivary glands. Among minor salivary glands, the palate is the most common site.

  • AdCC of the parotid gland could cause facial nerve paralysis (nerve invasion).

  • AdCC manifests in three different patterns histologically -> 1) Cribriform pattern, 2) Tubular pattern, 3) Solid pattern

  • Among the three patterns, cribriform type is know to have the best prognosis and the solid type, the worst prognosis, in terms of distant metastasis and long-term survival.
