adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC)

Imaging of
the sublingual and submandibular spaces. Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the sublingual gland. a Axial T2-weighted and b T1-weighted MR images of the sublingual space demonstrate a lobulated high T2 signal and low T1 signal lesion enlarging and distorting the left sublingual gland (arrow). c There is diffuse enhancement on the axial post-contrast T1-weighted MR image

Adenoid cystic carcinomas are a rare histological subtype of adenocarcinoma.
Pathology
Adenoid cystic carcinomas are generally considered low grade . The tumors have a notable tendency for perineural spread.
Location
They have a wide distribution and mainly occur in relation to the airways, lacrimal glands and breasts. Reported locations include:
- head and neck
- adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary glands
- adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal glands
- adenoid cystic carcinoma of the larynx
- hard palate
- nasopharynx
- rarely reported: eyelid
- sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma
- adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast
- tracheobronchial tree/respiratory tract
- adenoid cystic carcinoma of the tracheobronchial tree
- second most common primary malignant tracheal neoplasm (after squamous cell carcinoma)
- previously also called a cylindroma in this location
- adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung
- adenoid cystic carcinoma of the tracheobronchial tree
- pelvis
- uterine/cervical
- adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin glands
