Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm most commonly originating in the minor salivary glands of head and neck region. Among intra oral adenoid cystic carcinoma, buccal mucosa is one of the rarer sites. Here, we report a case of recurrent adenoid cystic carcinoma of the right buccal mucosa in a 33 year old female. As this is an uncommon site for adenoid cystic carcinoma, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis of mass of buccal mucosa. It is imperative that we identify such cases and plan for early surgical excision with adequate margins.

Introduction: Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare salivary gland malignancy that can occur in any part of the body, its clinicopathologic features are scarcely reported in locoregional literature. Therefore, in this study we aimed to evaluate the clinicopathologic features of adenoid cystic carcinoma in our population and to determine the association of age and site of its occurrence with histologic pattern and perineural invasion. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 30 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma that underwent surgical resections or biopsies from March 2009 to February 2020 at Liaquat National Hospital and Medical College, Karachi. Clinical and histopathological parameters including age, site, histological pattern and perineural invasion were determined and association between different parameters was analyzed. Results: Mean age of the patients was 30 + 16.1 years. Cribriform pattern was most common histologic pattern (63.3%) while head and neck region was the most common site of occurrence (83.3%). Perineural invasion which is one of the most important prognostic factors in adenoid cystic carcinoma was present in approximately half of the patients (46.7%). No significant association of age and site was found with histologic pattern and perineural invasion. Conclusion: Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare malignancy most commonly occurring in head and neck region with a high frequency of perineural invasion. No significant difference of histologic pattern and histologic prognostic parameter like perineural invasion was noted at different ages and different sites in our study.

AbstractA clinicopathological study of 51 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma in the head and neck region seen over a period of 20 years is presented. The correlation between various histological features and their impact on the results is attempted. Longterm results with respect to loco-regional recurrences, distant metastases and survival with various modalities of therapy are presented. Although this is a small series, radical surgery in keeping with the aim of avoiding undue mutilation, thus preserving the quality of life, followed by a full course of radiotherapy has been the mainstay of treatment and the results here presented justify this approach.

Gossypiboma or retained surgical sponge is an infrequently encountered surgical complication, more so in the head and neck region. A literature search did not reveal a previously reported case of retained or concealed surgical sponge after microscopic ear surgery. We present a unique and previously unreported case of a 25-year-old male who presented with a cystic swelling in the right supra-aural region 5 months post-modified radical mastoidectomy of the right ear. Surgical excision of the swelling revealed a retained surgical sponge. We emphasise the importance of counting surgical sponges after every surgical step to minimise the incidence of such retained surgical items.

AbstractAdenoid cystic carcinoma is the commonest tumour of minor salivary glands. In the case described here a pulmonary mass was found. This was likely to be a distant metastasis, particularly as the primary tumour was of cribriform subtype with perineural invasion and resection was microscopically incomplete. However, surgical excision of the pulmonary mass enabled histopathological studies to be carried out which found it to be an unrelated bronchioloalveolar carcinoma.

<p>Pedunculated primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of larynx is an uncommon form of malignant neoplasm. This case is an extremely rare entity and hence reported. Until today this type of carcinoma is not reported in medical literature. A 55 year old female patient came with 6 months history of dyspnoea and foreign body sensation in throat and occasional change of voice. Micro laryngeal surgical excision of the pedunculated polyp was done under general anaesthesia using diathermy cautery and specimen was sent for histopathological examination, perineural spread of the tumour is highlighted. The pedunculated polyp from the arytenoid looked like a benign lesion and histopathological examination showed the lesion to be adenoid cystic carcinoma. </p>

Abstract Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare plasma cell proliferative disorder arising outside the bone marrow. It shows a predilection for the head and neck region. They commonly involve the mucosa associated lymphoid tissues of upper airways. Common sites are nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses followed by nasopharynx, tonsils and oropharynx. We report a case of an isolated lesion in the right nasal cavity in an elderly male in which surgical excision is followed by postoperative radiotherapy.

Thirty-four cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the major and minor salivary glands of the oral cavity, treated by wide surgical excision, were studied. The relationship between prognosis of the neoplasm and various morphologic factors were evaluated. Among the morphologic parameters previously studied, which according to various authors may be linked to the evolution of this tumor, we confirmed correlations for both histologic patterns and perineural invasion. In addition, the authors propose neoplastic growth type as a new parameter prognostically significant in ACC. In fact, none of the patients with the pushing type growth pattern died during the study period (p = 0.007). These same patients presented disease-free periods (mean 56 months, median 58 months) significantly longer than those with the infiltrating type growth pattern (mean 28 months, median 24 months).
