Adenoid cystic carcinoma usually grows in the trachea or near its bifurcation and causes obstruction of the air way. We recently experienced a 33 year-old male patient who had adenoid cystic carcinoma in the left main bronchus with the chief complaint of productive cough. On the bronchoscopy, the mass obstructed the left main bronchus completely and had nodularity and increased vascularity.The trachea was shifted to the left side and the lower lobe of the left lung was atelectatic on chest X-ray and computed axial tomogram.He underwent left tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy and lymph node dissection through bilateral thoracotomy. At first,we attempted left tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy through the left thoracotomy,however, it was very difficult to perform carinoplastic procedure after sleeve resection of 2.5cm of distal trachea and 1cm of proximal right main bronchus including whole left lung because of poor operative field and difficulty in the anastomosis of the right main bronchus to the distal end of the trachea without tension.Therefore after radical resection of the left lung we made right thoracotomy,through which we could anastomosed the distal trachea and right main bronchus with 4-0 PDS interrupted suture after mobilization of the right hilum without difficulty. The tumor was confirmed to be adenoid cystic carcinoma with metastasis to subcarinal lymph node histopathologically. Postoperative course was uneventful but he needed two bronchoscopic procedure to clear distal airway of the retained bronchial secretion. He was discharged at 14 days after operation with complete recovery.

기저세포양 편평세포암(basaloid squamous carcinoma)은 상부 기도소화기계에 발생하는 드문, 악성도가 높은 암종으로 침습성 편평세포암(invasive squamous carcinoma)이나 상피내암(carcinoma in situ) 형태의 편평상피암종성분과 밀접하게 혼재되어 있는 기저세포앞종성분(basaloid component)으로 특징 지워질 수 있다. 이런 조직학적 특성에도 불구하고 식도의 선양 낭성암(adenoid cystic carcinoma)이나 선양 낭성 분화를 보이는 암종(carcinoma with adenoid cystic differentiation)과 혼동되어 왔으나, 순수 선양 낭성암은 악성도가 기저세포양 편평세포암보다 낮아감별 진단이 중요하다. 기저세포양편평세포암의 임상적 경과는 식도의 편평세포암과 유사하다. 본 병원에서는 60세 남자의 식도 중간 113 부위에 발생한 기저세포양 편굉세포암을 수술치험하였다.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma constitutes 4 percent of ail benign and malignant epithelial salivary gland tumors and is a highly malignant tumor of the salivary glands. The cytologic presentation in aspirates is usually characteristic with spherical clusters(balls) of small tumor cells filled with hyaline material. But in case of the poorly differentiated variety(solid type), it is difficult to differentiate from other tumors because sheets of small, fairly monotonous malignant cells, with somewhat larger and more conspicuous nuclei are only seen. The cytologic findings of fine needle aspiration of solid type adenoid cystic carcinoma of buccal mucosa in a 51-year-old man are presented. On cytologic findings, solid sheets of monotonous tumor cells with focal necrosis was noted on a hemorrhagic background and the characteristic cytologic features of adenoid cystic carcinoma was absent.

Purpose: This study was to investigate clinical feature of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) in the major salivary gland. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was undertaken for 23 patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the major salivary gland, who completed postoperative radiotherapy at the Yonsei Cancer Center, Yonsei University Hospital between May 1981 and December 1999. The male to female ratio was 1.1:1. Median age was 50. Follow up periods were 12-180 months with the median follow-up time of 59 months. Results: Parotid gland, submandibular gland and sublingual gland were 17, 5 and 1 respectively. Overall failure rate was 26%. Local failure was observed in two patients with parotid gland origin. Five cases showed distant failure. Overall and disease free survival rate were 68% and 72% respectively. Conclusion: Major pattern of failure was distant failure. Resection margin status had not prognostic significance. Postoperative radiation treatment is an effective to control in the adenoid cystic carcinoma of the major salivary gland.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the sublingual gland is an extremely rare neoplasm. The clinicopathological characteristics of ACC are slow-growing swelling with or without ulceration, perineural spread, local recurrence, and distant metastasis. This report describes a 58-year-old male who had a slowly growing swelling without ulceration on the right side of the mouth floor that had been present for 1 month. In a radiological examination, the mass showed multilocular cystic features and no bony or tongue muscle invasion. No enlarged cervical lymph nodes were detected. Excisional biopsy and histological analysis showed that the lesion was ACC. In addition to reporting a rare case of ACC, this report also discusses the differential diagnosis and treatment of ACC with a review of the relevant literature.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) in the lacrimal gland is a very rare disease with poor overall prognosis. Its primary treatment is surgical excision, including orbital exenteration and radical orbitectomy, which is combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Age, histopathologic type, bone invasion, and tumor extent are known factors that affect the prognosis of ACC. Furthermore, perineural invasion is highly associated with local tumor recurrence and tumor base invasion. Here, we report a rare case of ACC in the lacrimal gland with superior sagittal sinus invasion that repeatedly recurred after the surgical excision.

선양 낭포암은 종양의 진행 속도가 느리며 직접 국소 침범을 잘하는 종양이다. 종양의 특성 상 완전 종양 절제가 불가능한 경우 합병증을 해결하는 치료만으로도 장기간의 생존이 가능하다. 본 교실에서는 간에 전이된 선양 낭포암 환자에서 좌측 주기관지 폐쇄로 발생한 다발성 폐농양에 의한 악성 발열 증상을 좌측 전폐 절제술을 통해 치료하여 경과 양호하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare primary tracheal tumor, and this tumor behave slow growth, low grade malignancy with local invasion. Although many patient die within 2 to 3 years of the onset of symptoms without appropriate treatment, adequate therapy should lead to survival of 10 years or more. We had a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma in 47 year old female patient who was treated with resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the invaded trachea. Postoperative course was uneventful and discharged without any complications. Radiotherapy of total 6,600 cGy is scheduled 4 weeks after the resective surgery to prevent recurrence.

Knowledge of airflow characteristics in nasal cavity is essential to understand the physiological and pathological aspects of nasal breathing. Several studies have utilized physical models of the healthy nasal cavity to investigate the relationship between nasal anatomy and airflow. Since the final goal of these works is their contribution to the diagnosisand treatment of nasal diseases, the next step on this topic is naturally studies for disordered nasal cavities. In this paper, as the first application, airflows in the normal and abnormal nasal cavities with adenoid vegetation are investigated experimentally by PIV, and comparisons of both cases are appreciated. Dense CT data and careful treatment of model surface under the ENT doctor's advice provide more sophisticatedcavity model. The CBC PIV algorithm with window offset is used for PIV flow analysis. Average and RMS distributions are obtained for inspirational and expirational nasal airflows. Airflow characteristics that are related with the abnormalities in nasal cavity are presented.

The author studied 21 adenoid hypertrophied children and 50 normal children by the horizontal, vertical and angular measurements to analyze, the effects of the lymphadenoid hypertrophy to the tongue, mandible, and hyoid bone position. The results were as follows; 1. The tongue of the Adenoid hypertrophy children was positioned mon anterior and lower than that of the normal children. 2. The horizontal, vertical, and angular measurements of the mandible position were larger in the experimental group and especially ANS to ME, PNS to MP, PTM to MP, PP to MP, FOP to MP showed statistically significant difference. 3. The measurements of the hyoid bone position were also larger in the experimental group.
