“…In two cases, primary tumour was in the lung, 2,5 whereas in the other two cases, primary tumours were in the oral floor and external auditory canal. 25,26 Conclusion This is the second reported case of a primary lacrimal ACC metastatic to the kidney. Despite its small size and favourable histological noninvasive behaviour, the patient developed contralateral pulmonary and renal metastases seven and 14 years after removal of the primary tumour.…”

“…21 To our knowledge, in the English-speaking area (PubMed), 10 cases of ACC metastatic to the kidney have been described to date, metastasising from the lacrimal gland, bronchus, lung, parotid gland, breast, salivary gland, palate, oral floor and external auditory canal. 2,3,5,7,8,[22][23][24][25][26] Kidney metastasis usually presents as a solitary tumour mass and chronic pain with or without haematuria. 15,22,23 It can macroscopically mimic RCC as was described by Kala et al In their case, a 35-year-old female patient was treated with right-sided nephrectomy because of a solitary tumour mass of the right kidney.…”

“…Renal metastasis is frequently misdiagnosed and can mimic radiologically a primary renal tumor [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]24]. It is often asymptomatic and rarely exhibits hematuria as it is usually located in the vascular plexus cortex without any tumor infiltration of the adjacent urothelium [24].…”

Renal Metastases from a Nasal Cavity Mixed Squamous Cell and Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma: A Case Report

et al. 2020

Rare disease Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a very rare tumor with a high risk of loco-regional recurrence and potential distant metastases. Until now, only a few cases of renal metastases from ACC have been reported in the literature. Case Report: A 64-year-old, Caucasian, non-smoker female, 8 months after being treated by radio-chemotherapy for a squamous cell nasal cavity tumor, presented two renal lesions associated with lung and vertebral metastases. Histology was consisted with a metastasis from an ACC. The histological revision of the primary nasal tumor confirmed a squamous cells carcinoma with an adenoid cystic component that metastasized to the kidney. Renal lesions appeared hypometabolic at the 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) PET scan mimicking a primary renal tumor. The patient underwent a systemic, palliative chemotherapy by a weekly carboplatin/paclitaxel/cetuximab regimen that was well tolerated and allowed a lasting tumor control. Conclusions: The particularity of this case relies on the rarity of renal metastasis from ACC, its difficult diagnosis, and the complexity of its management, as no standard chemotherapy has been validated for metastatic ACC, yet. In our case, a weekly carboplatin/paclitaxel/cetuximab regimen was administered leading to a durable tumor stabilization with an excellent patient's quality of life.

“…The organs most frequently involved by metastatic ACC are the lungs, bones, brain, and liver [2]. On reviewing the limited cases of metastatic ACC with renal involvement, the most common primary sites are major or minor salivary glands (parotid gland, submandibular gland, palate, floor of mouth, sinonasal region), lacrimal gland, and breast [11][12][13][14][15]. The time interval between primary diagnosis and development of renal metastasis ranged from 3 to 14 years, with an average interval of 9.8 years, representing an indolent growth pattern and a potential for late metastases [15].…”

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a malignancy affecting the salivary glands and rarely involving the lung. Due to its rarity, primary lung ACC remains incompletely understood. We herein report the case of a 57-year-old female patient who was initially diagnosed with primary lung ACC and was treated by lobectomy. Seven years later, an abdominal computed tomography scan performed in the context of surveillance revealed the presence of a solid lesion arising from the lower pole of the left kidney. The patient underwent left partial nephrectomy, and histopathology confirmed a completely excised metastatic ACC.
