Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of Child: A Rare Case

Abstract

ABSTRACT%Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is the second most common malignant tumor affecting both major and minor salivary glands. Clinically, it is a slowly growing tumor with high propensity for local invasion, recurrence and distant metastasis. It is predominantly seen in the ffith and sixth decades of life. Here, we report a rare case of ACC affecting the right maxilla of a 12-year-old girl.How to cite this article: Mathai M, Sherubin JE, Agnihotri PG, Sangeetha GS.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma in children and young adults: A clinicopathological study of 12 cases

“…ACC occurred in children and young adults aged ≤20 years is rare. To date, only few case series have been published on children and young adult ACC, and most of these have been reported as case reports (De Campora et al, 1987; Javadi et al, 2002; Locati et al, 2017; Mathai et al, 2014; Murao, 1980; Nassar & Sawczyn, 2013; Varan et al, 2014; Xu, Aneja, et al, 2017a). In the present study, we reported 12 cases of children and young adult ACC and analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics, immunohistochemical profiles, and molecular alterations of these tumors.…”

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the maxilla

“…Perineural invasion is the pathognomonic factor responsible for high rate of local recurrence. Lymph node involvement is rare and is usually caused by contiguous spread rather than lymphatic permeation or embolization [3].…”
