Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung: A clinicopathologic study

Surgical experience of primary salivary gland tumors of lung: A case series

“…Though all of our patients were male, previously reported case series reveal a conflicting gender predilection for PSGTTL. Zhu et al [4], Molina et al [2], and Maziak et al [6] could not find any gender predilection for PSGTTL while Moran et al [7], Mondal et al [8] and Kang et al [5] reported male predilection.…”

“…However, literature is not uniform regarding the location of PSGTTL: central airway involvement varies from 6.2% to 100%. [2,[4][5][6][7][8] Centrally located endobronchial tumors cause obstructive symptoms like cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis and peripheral lung collapse. In tuberculosis endemic country like ours, these symptoms may be attributed to tuberculosis and the patients may be prescribed antituberculosis treatment erroneously.…”

“…Though distant failures are high but variable in PSGTTL; they vary from 4.1 to 44.7% in various series. [2,[4][5][6][7][8] In conclusion, radical surgery to achieve R'0' resection is the main stay of treatment of PSGTTL.…”

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of lung: a very unusual presentation

“…ACC of the lung arises from the main bronchial division, glands of trachea and bronchial wall (airway) sub mucosa, peripheral ACC is <20% and must be differentiated from metastatic malignancy. 5 Centrally located tumors compressing the large airways present with features of post obstructive collapse with consolidation, in this case, the patient presented with lower lobe pneumonitis. The centrally located tumors are mostly squamous cell variants.…”
