Adenoid cystic carcinomas are tumors that are more commonly seen in the salivary glands than in the nasopharynx. Nasopharyngeal adenoid cystic carcinomas are rare and cases that are reported in the literatures are few. Treatment is mainly by surgical resection. Here, we report 2 cases of nasopharyngeal adenoid cystic carcinoma.

PMID: 6294490

Three consecutive cases of lacrimal gland carcinoma seen at the University Hospital during a twelve-year period are presented. One case was unusual, presenting at the age of sixteen years and developing metastases to the lungs. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is the commonest type of lacrimal malignancy and its clinico-pathological features and surgical management are discussed.

Prognosis of primary breast salivary gland-type carcinoma: a propensity score-matching analysis with invasive carcinoma of no special type based on the SEER database for years 2010-2020

Ch'ng ES

Breast Cancer, 2024 May;31(3):496-506.

PMID: 38546966 DOI: 10.1007/s12282-024-01564-8

BACKGROUND: Primary breast salivary gland-type carcinoma has weak evidence to support its management due to its rare occurrence and limited data regarding its clinicopathological features and prognosis. Therefore, this study aimed to assess clinicopathological features and prognosis for this type of carcinoma diagnosed over the past decade and compared those to the common breast invasive carcinoma of no special type (NST).

METHODS: This study used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to extract data regarding primary breast salivary gland-type carcinoma. Using a propensity score-matching approach, the prognosis was compared with invasive carcinoma, NST.

RESULTS: This study included 488 cases of salivary gland-type carcinoma and 375,660 cases of invasive carcinoma, NST, giving an occurrence ratio of 1 to 770. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (81%) formed the majority of salivary gland-type carcinoma, followed by secretory carcinoma (13%). For salivary gland-type carcinoma, acinic cell carcinoma histological type, tumor grade 3, HER2-overexpressed status, and higher AJCC stage groups were significant worse prognostic factors for breast cancer-specific survival in univariate analyses (p carcinoma as compared to that of invasive carcinoma, NST, was diminished following adjustment for differences in baseline clinicopathological features and treatment-related variables.

CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that when managing primary breast salivary gland-type carcinoma, greater emphasis should be given to the tumor grade and AJCC stage group in addition to acinic cell carcinoma histological type and HER2 overexpression. Conventional prognostic factors are important as salivary gland-type carcinoma had similar prognosis as invasive carcinoma, NST, following adjustment for confounding variables.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumor that arises within secretary glands, most commonly the major and minor salivary glands. It has a tendency for a prolonged clinical course, perineural invasion, with local recurrences and distant metastases. The three recognized histopathologic pattern of ACC are cribriform, tubular, and solid with the cribriform being most common. Standard treatment for salivary gland ACC is surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. We report a case of ACC of palate in a 30-year-old female and review the literature.

Fulltext Hyaline cells in salivary gland tumours

Ng KH, Siar CH

Med J Malaysia, 1986 Sep;41(3):213-9.

PMID: 2444865

The morphology, incidence and distribution of hyaline cells in ten cases each of pleomorphic adenoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and mucoepidermoid tumour were studied by conventional light microscopy. Results showed that the hyaline cells were identified in 60% of pleomorphic adenoma and in 20% of mucoepidermoid tumours, but were absent in adenoid cystic carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Relative area estimation of hyaline cells in pleomorphic adenomas showed that this may range from 2.2% to 30.4% of the total tumour area. The usefulness of the hyaline cell as a diagnostic criteria in distinguishing between some of the salivary gland tumours was also discussed.

Introduction: Oral cancer is the sixth most common malignancy in the world. It is a major concern in Southeast Asia primarily due to betel quid chewing, smoking, and alcohol consumption. In Malaysia, oral cancer related cases accounts for 1.55% of the cause of deaths. Despite recent advances in cancer diagnoses and therapies, the survival rate of oral cancer patients only reached 50% in the last few decades. Tissue engineering (TE) principles may pro-vide new technology platforms to study mechanisms of angiogenesis and tumour cell growth as well as potentially tumour cell spreading in cancer research. The use of biomaterial, appropriate cell source and proper signalling mol-ecules are vital components of TE. Collagen biomaterial are widely used scaffold or membrane in oral application. Nevertheless, no review has been performed on the its usage for the study of oral cancer. This study aimed to sys-tematically review the use of collagen scaffold in oral cancer application. Methods: Research articles were searched using Scopus, Pubmed and Web of Science (WOS) databases. The keywords were limited to “collagen membrane OR collagen scaffold” AND “oral cancer”. Results: Initial search yielded 61 papers (Scopus:37, Pubmed: 12, WOS: 12). Further scrutinization of the papers based on the inclusion criteria resulted total of 3 papers. Two of the papers used collagen membrane for regeneration of oral mucosal defect and increment of alveolar ridge height post-surgery. The remaining paper utilize collagen biomaterial as scaffold for the culture of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) cells. All papers reported significant role of collagen biomaterial in terms of tissue formation, healing scaffold and cellular proliferation. Conclusion: Collagen utilization as biomaterial offers potential use for regeneration of oral related structures as well providing useful model for therapeutics anti-cancer research.
