Popis: Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare tumor that typically originates from secretory glands, most commonly found in the salivary glands. However, it can also develop as a primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma, which appears identical under the microscope to adenoid cystic carcinoma originating in other tissues. Distinguishing between primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma and extracutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma with cutaneous metastases is crucial for determining the prognosis and appropriate management of the condition. In this case report, we describe a case of primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma located on the hand with lung metastases. Proper differentiation, treatment planning and regular clinical follow-up to monitor for any signs of recurrence or metastasis are essential to ensure favorable outcomes for patients with this rare neoplasm.
