PAPILLARY THYROID CARCINOMA WITH ADENOID CYSTIC FEATURES: A CYTOPATHOLOGY CASE REPORT

Introduction: Adenoid cystic pattern in papillary thyroid carcinoma is a rare nding. Here w Case description: e present a case of a 62 years old female who came with the complaint of swelling in the midline of the neck since last 7 years. Local examination revealed a rm to hard mass of size approximately 8 x 6 cm in the midline of the neck which moved with deglutition. Another swelling of size 3.5 x 2.5 cm was found in the posterior scalp.MRI neck showed a lobulated mass measuring 7.1 x 6.4 x 8.0 cm in right lobe of thyroid, causing mass effect over adjacent larynx and trachea. MRI brain revealed a well-dened soft tissue mass lesion measuring 3.6 x 3.3 x 3.4 cm in right parietal bone causing lytic destruction of bony calvaria. Ultrasonography of whole abdomen revealed two well dened lesions in liver, suggesting possibility of metastasis/ hemangioma. On ne needle aspiration of neck swelling, cellular smears showing cells arranged in clusters, microfollicles, vague papillary pattern alongwith abundant hyaline globules, nuclear grooving and nuclear inclusions were present, suggestive of papillary thyroid carcinoma with adenoid cystic pattern. FNA of the scalp swelling showed similar features, suggestive of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma with adenoid cystic features. Discussion: Though rare, papillary thyroid carcinoma with adenoid cystic features should be differentiated from metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma of larynx and salivary glands, which at times is challenging.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of arytenoid: a rare tumor at a rare site

<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>

A case report of adenoid cystic carcinoma of larynx: A distinctly rare entity

Introduction: Malignant tumors of minor salivary glands are relatively uncommon. In the larynx, ACC is extremely rare. These tumors are commonly arise in the subglottic region of larynx. Materials and Methods: We present an unusual case of ACC in a 50 year old male. On laryngoscopic examination a growth was seen in the arytenoid region of larynx. An incisional biopsy was taken and sent for HPE. Results: A tumor was seen in the submucosal region with typical cribriform pattern and myxoid matrix. A diagnosis of ACC was noted. Conclusion: ACC is a very slow growing tumor but is notorious for local recurrence and distant metastasis. Hence caution is needed in such cases, especially when the tumor is seen beneath the mucosa. Failure of diagnosis ACC may lead to fatal outcome in some cases. Keywords: Adenoid cystic carcinoma, Larynx, Prognosis.

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of Larynx: A Case Report and Rare Experience

ABSTRACT Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) accounts for less than 1% of laryngeal tumors. Surgery is the treatment of choice which can be combined with adjuvant radiotherapy. We present a rare case of ACC of glottis and subglottis presented to us with respiratory distress. How to cite this article Verma H, Dass A, Punia RS, Singhal SK, Gupta N, Bhutani M.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of larynx.

This case report presents the clinical picture, diagnostic methodology, and surgical treatment of a 30 years old female patient, who presented with hoarseness of voice and difficulty in breathing. Direct laryngoscopy showed mass in right side of subglottic region, and biopsy-proven adenoid cystic carcinoma. Total laryngectomy was performed and patient was discharged three weeks postoperatively and doing well.
