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.

Basaloid Squamous

Adenoid squamous cell carcinoma is an uncommon variant of squamous cell carcinoma. The lesion is histologically distinctive and it is usually localized on the skin of the head and neck region; it only rarely involves the mucosal sites. The differential diagnoses include adenosquamous carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, basaloid squamous cell carcinoma, and metastatic adenocarcinoma. Surgery is the treatment of choice. The biologic behavior of this neoplasm is more aggressive when it involves mucosal areas, and the prognosis seems worse than that of conventional squamous cell carcinoma.

Carcinoma Buccal Mucosa

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.

<p class="abstract">Lipoma is a benign mesenchymal tumor with a thirteen percent incidence in head and neck region. Posterior triangle is the most common location while anterior neck lipoma is a rare one. Giant lipomas &gt;10 cm have been reported in different parts of the body but rarely in the anterior neck. Surgical excision remains the treatment of choice. We here report a case of giant anterior neck lipoma in a 50 year old male managed surgically.</p>

Investigations of the oral function of patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) to the head and neck region are relevant for the overall quality of life. Considering the possible impact of the side-effects on nutrition, the recovery of these patients might be impaired. This study aimed at investigating the oral condition of patients submitted to RT to the head and neck region. A single-center, cross-sectional mixed analysis assessing the oral conditions of patients before RT (group 1) and after 12-months of RT (group 2) was performed. Following inclusion and exclusion criteria consideration, fifty (n=25) patients were included in this study. A calibrated examiner conducted the oral examination, the following variables were assessed: a) DMF index: decayed, missing and filled teeth; b) xerostomia and dysgeusia, subjective assessment of salivary function and taste; c) simplified oral hygiene index – OHI-S, with plaque disclosing solution; d) unstimulated sialometry, assessment of salivary function. Statistical analysis compared the groups considering a significance level of 5%. The group evaluated after 12 months of RT showed high rate of dry mouth (92%) and dysgeusia complaint (72%) while no patient reported in group 1. Statistically significant difference was observed in the comparison of group 1 and 2 regarding DMF index (> 64%), OHI-S index (>38%), and unstimulated sialometry (<70%). Patients submitted to RT to the head and neck region for the treatment of cancer experience oral complications even at 12 months after the last session of RT.

Clinicopathological 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.

SummaryA study of sixty patients with basal cell carcinoma of the head and neck region carried out over a six-year period (1979–1985) is hereby presented. Sixteen (26.72 percent) were albinos and 44 (73.28 per cent) negroids. Forty-eight (80 per cent) were outdoor workers. The negroid patients presented between the 3rd and 4th decades while the albinos presented a decade earlier. The commonest site involved in the head and neck was the forehead. The midface showed the highest recurrence rate in both groups, even after adequate excision. The frequency of recurrence in tumours presenting with a size of 2–5 cm. diameter was significantly higher in the albinos than in the negroid (P<0.05), whereas, with tumours of a size larger than 5 cm., there was no statistically significant difference between the albino and the negroid. However, the overall recurrence rate was significantly higher in the albinos (P<0.005). The mortality among the albinos was 25 per cent while there were no deaths in the negroid Africans.
