Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare glandular neoplasm that mimics benign lesions both clinically and histologically making it diagnostic challenge. Although indolent, ACC has potential for local regional distant metastasis even after surgical excision, there high recurrence rate. This report outlines case of PPACC reviews current therapeutic approaches.

We consider the problem of counting the occurrences of patterns of the form xy-z within flattened permutations of a given length. Using symmetric functions, we find recurrence relations satisfied by the distributions on Sn for the patterns 12-3, 21-3, 23-1 and 32-1, and develop a unified approach to obtain explicit formulas. By these recurrences, we are able to determine simple closed form expr...
