| Popis: |
Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) accounts for less than 0.2 % of all primary lung malignancies. Here we present two cases of lung ACC (ACCL), first is a 65-year-old female who was diagnosed with ACCL and surgically treated at another institution. She presented with recurrent tumor which was resected at our hospital. No adjuvant treatment was given, and she is without any signs of residual tumor or recurrence after 6 months. The second case is a 68-year-old female with a right upper lobe nodule noticed in 2017 but declined biopsy due to fear of possible complications. In 2022 she underwent biopsy at our institution which showed ACCL and was treated surgically without adjuvant therapy. Till date she is with no evidence of residual tumor or recurrence. Multiple disciplines need to work together to provide the best patient care from accurate diagnosis to surgical resection and additional therapy. More research is needed to generate guidelines for treatment of this rare malignancy, especially the indications for chemotherapy. |
