adenoid cystic carcinoma is an uncommon, slow growing malignant salivary gland tumor that is characterized by wide local infiltration, perineural spread, propensity to local recurrence anddistant metastasis. in this paper, the authors present a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma affecting the palate and involving the maxillary sinus in a 60‑year‑old male patient along with a brief reviewof litera...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a tumor of exocrine glands originating primarily from the minor and major salivary glands, lacrimal gland, bronchus, breast, and intestinal and genital tracts. Intracranial remote metastasis from adenoid cystic carcinoma in salivary gland is quite rare. The authors encountered a case of intrasellar remote metastasis from an adenoid cystic carcinoma of parotid gland o...

BACKGROUND Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a locally aggressive salivary gland neoplasm, which has a poor long-term prognosis. A chromosomal translocation involving the genes encoding the transcription factors, MYB and NFIB, has been recently discovered in these tumors. METHODS MYB translocation and protein expression were studied in 37 adenoid cystic carcinomas, 112 other salivary gland neoplasm...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm most commonly originating in salivary glands of head and neck region. Its occurrence elsewhere is rare and extension to thyroid even rarer. We report a 27 year old male who was diagnosed to have features of adenoid cystic carcinoma in fine needle aspirate of the thyroid swelling and subsequently confirmed by histopathology. Extensive search faile...

First bite syndrome is a well-described sequelae of parapharyngeal space surgery, thought to result from sympathetic denervation of the parotid gland. We describe a case of first bite syndrome caused by an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the submandibular gland. The tumor was not clinically or radiographically apparent until 18 months after initial presentation despite repeated imaging. In patients...

Introduction: Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is rare, but an aggressive malignancy. Central nervous system Burkitt lymphoma (CNSBL) is very rare. CNS Burkitt’s lymphoma is treated with high-dose chemotherapy and radiation. Radiotherapy in children younger than three years old may cause major CNS damage. Case report: A three-year-old boy presented with painful proptosis of the left eye. He underwent aden...

Background: Adenoidectomy is currently considered the treatment of choice for children with severe symptoms caused by Adenoids Hypertrophy (AH). Non-surgical alternative options are in less cases to avoid untoward effect surgery. This study was aimed evaluate efficacy and safety Mometasone Furoate nasal spray combined Montelukast Sodium AH.
