[PMID: 39134604 PMCID: PMC11319476 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-69039-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) is a salivary gland neoplasm that infrequently appears in the sinonasal region. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome and clinicopathological parameters of sinonasal AdCC. A retrospective analysis was conducted on all cases of AdCC affecting the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses between 2000 and 2018 at the University Hospital Zurich. Tumor material was examined for morphological features and analyzed for molecular alterations. A total of 14 patients were included. Mean age at presentation was 57.7 years. Sequencing revealed MYB::NFIB gene fusion in 11/12 analyzable cases. Poor prognostic factors were solid variant (p < 0.001), histopathological high-grade transformation (p < 0.001), and tumor involvement of the sphenoid sinus (p = 0.02). The median recurrence-free survival (RFS) and OS were 5.2 years and 11.3 years. The RFS rates at 1-, 5-, and 10-year were 100%, 53.8%, and 23.1%. The OS rates at 1-, 5-, and 10- years were 100%, 91.7%, and 62.9%, respectively. In Conclusion, the solid variant (solid portion > 30%), high-grade transformation, and sphenoid sinus involvement are negative prognostic factors for sinonasal AdCC. A high prevalence of MYB::NFIB gene fusion may help to correctly classify diagnostically challenging (e.g. metatypical) cases.

Abstract
Context: Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma (HMSC), formerly known as HPV-related carcinoma with adenoid cystic like features, is a rare tumor subtype with unusual correlation between radiological, histopathological, and surgical findings. The shared histological characteristics with other sinonasal tumors make the diagnosis challenging. Optimal surgical and oncological treatments for this rare condition remains to be clearly defined. Methods: The objective of the study was to describe the unique characteristics and endoscopic surgical treatment of this rare tumor. In this retrospective case series, all patients with an HMSC diagnosis treated in our tertiary center were selected. Results: Three HMSC cases were identified, including 2 male and 1 female patients. All cases originated from the posterior nasal cavity. One case presented with a tumor of 8.9 cm × 6.4 cm × 8.7 cm, which is the largest tumor volume described to date. All patients received exclusively endoscopic surgical treatment, followed by adjuvant radiation therapy. No patient showed clinical or radiological sign of disease recurrence, or regional or distant metastasis, with a follow-up ranging from 9 months to 4 years. In 2 cases, initial diagnoses incorrectly suggested adenoid cystic or basaloid squamous cell carcinoma. HPV-DNA testing confirmed the presence of HPV in all cases, with identification of strains 16 and 18. Conclusion and Relevance: HMSC represents a newly identified diagnosis that constitutes a significant challenge for both clinicians and pathologists. It is crucial to acknowledge its indolent clinical course and the apparent contradiction between aggressive radiological features and the noninvasive nature of surgical findings. Skull base surgeons should be aware that, despite these complexities, endoscopic treatment is achievable in the majority of cases. This understanding is essential for the effective management of HMSC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the prognosis and quality of life for primary malignant maxillary sinus tumors. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis. 164 patients diagnosed with primary malignant maxillary sinus tumors between 2005 and 2018 were recruited. Patients were treated according to the pathological type and the lesion range. Prognostic differences of different pathological types, surgical resection methods, repair methods, treatment methods, and different local recurrence sites were analyzed. Survival analysis and prognostic factors analysis were performed. RESULTS Overall survival (OS) rate was 74.7% at 3 years, 60.5% at 5 years, and 45.8% at 10 years. Disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 67.2% at 3 years, 45.6% at 5 years, and 30.8% at 10 years. There was significant difference in OS rate among different pathological types (χ2 = 14.18, P < 0.05). The order of 5-year OS rate was as follows: malignant transformation of inverted Papilloma (77.7%) > adenoid cystic carcinoma (74.1%) > squamous cell carcinoma (48.4%) > sarcoma (22.1%). The order of disease-free survival was as follows: total maxillary resection > subtotal maxillary resection > endoscopic nasal tumor resection ≥enlarged maxillary resection, the 5-year DFS rate were 68.6%, 53.5%, 46.2%, and 42.9%, respectively. The OS of postoperative radiotherapy was significantly better than that of preoperative radiotherapy (χ2 = 7.16, P < 0.05). There was significant difference in OS between recurrent and non-recurrent patients (χ2 = 68.57, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The pathological type and the timing of radiotherapy are independent prognostic factors for primary malignant tumor of maxillary sinus. In addition, different local surgical resection methods are independent factors affecting the recurrence rate.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the imaging features of maxillary sinus adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to investigate the imaging differences between solid and nonsolid maxillary sinus ACC. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 40 cases of histopathologically confirmed ACC of the maxillary sinus. All the patients underwent CT and MRI. Based on the histopathological characteristics, the patients were classified into 2 groups: ( a ) solid maxillary sinus ACC (n = 16) and ( b ) nonsolid maxillary sinus ACC (n = 24). Imaging features such as tumor size, morphology, internal structure, margin, type of bone destruction, signal intensity, enhancement changes, and perineural tumor spread on CT and MRI, were evaluated. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was measured. Comparisons of imaging features and ADC values were performed between the solid and nonsolid maxillary sinus ACC using χ 2 and nonparametric tests. RESULTS The internal structure, margin, type of bone destruction, and degree of enhancement significantly differed between solid and nonsolid maxillary sinus ACC (all P < 0.05). The ADC of the solid maxillary sinus ACC was considerably lower than that of the nonsolid maxillary sinus ( P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Computed tomography and MRI may aid in the differentiation of solid and nonsolid types of maxillary sinus ACC.

Abstract
Objective:To assess the prognosis of sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma with hard palatine invasion treated by transnasal endoscopic total maxillectomy. Methods:Clinical data of twenty-six patients with sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma invading hard palatine treated by transnasal endoscopic total maxillectomy between May 2014 and December 2020 was analyzed retrospectively. Survival rate, local recurrence and distant metastasis were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method. Cox regression was used to investigate the prognosis factors. Masticatory function after maxillectomy has also been assessed using the questionnaire of patients' satisfaction about masticatory function. Results:Margins in 8 patients(30%) were positive. The median time of follow-up was 38 months(6 to 85 months). Twenty-five patients recurred. Four patients died of distant metastasis. The 5-year overall survival rate and relapse-free survival rate was 79.5% and 89.1%, respectively. Independent predictors of outcome on multivariate analysis were positive margin(P=0.018), recurrence(P=0.006) and distant metastasis(P=0.04). Conclusion:Transnasal endoscopic total maxillectomy could be performed for the treatment of the sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma with hard palatine invasion. Positive margin, local recurrence and distant metastasis were important predictors for patients' prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The most common malignant tumor of the small salivary glands in the head and neck region is adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACK). The most common localization of ACK is the hard palate. ACK does not show any sex predisposition and is mainly diagnosed in middle-aged patients. CASE REPORT The present case report describes a fulminant ACK in the rare localization of maxillary sinus in a 36-year old male. The subsequent surgical treatment consisted of a radical hemimaxillectomy using an extraoral approach according to Weber-Fergusson-Dieffenbach and ipsilateral neck dissection. A magnetic epithesis was used for initial defect coverage of the maxillary bone accompanied by an obturator prosthesis. The surgical treatment was then followed by adjuvant proton therapy. CONCLUSION This case report shows how individual patient care can be provided according to the latest therapy standards of ACK in the rare localization of the maxillary sinus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Basaloid neoplasms of the sinonasal tract represent a significant group of tumors with histological overlap but often with different etiologies (i.e., viral, genetics), clinical management, and prognostic significance. METHODS Review. RESULTS "Basaloid" generally refers to cells with coarse chromatin in round nuclei and sparse cytoplasm, resembling cells of epithelial basal layers or imparting an "immature" appearance. Tumors with this characteristic in the sinonasal tract are represented by a spectrum of benign to high-grade malignant neoplasms, such as adenoid cystic carcinoma, NUT carcinoma, sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma, SWI/SNF complex-deficient carcinomas, and adamantinoma-like Ewing sarcoma. CONCLUSION In some instances, histology alone may be sufficient for diagnosis. However, limited biopsy material or fine-needle aspiration specimens may be particularly challenging. Therefore, often other diagnostic procedures, including a combination of histology, immunohistochemistry (IHC), DNA and RNA testing, and molecular genetics are necessary to establish an accurate diagnosis.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT The role of induction chemotherapy in sinonasal cancers is promising; however, prospective studies with higher grades of evidence are needed. With the currently available literature, the authors would advocate for the use of induction chemotherapy (IC) in locally advanced sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (T3-T4) for organ preservation and potentially for improved survival outcomes. In sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC), IC should be considered in all patients given its tendency for aggressive invasion and poor outcomes. In SNUC, response to IC may direct the modality of definitive treatment to follow. In responders (partial or complete), chemoradiation therapy should be strongly considered. In non-responders or in those with progression of disease, surgical therapy is favored. For esthesioneuroblastoma, surgical resection with negative margins and adjuvant radiation therapy remains the gold standard. However, IC may be considered for locally advanced disease especially with orbital invasion or in recurrent/distant disease. There is no definite indication for IC in sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma or sinonasal adenocarcinoma. Recommendations are summarized in Table 1.

Abstract
High rates of recurrence and distant metastasis are a foremost challenge in the management of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), occurring in approximately 40% of all ACC patients. Despite the morbidity and mortality resulting from recurrent/metastatic (R/M) disease, there are no FDA-approved systemic agents for these patients. In this review, we summarize pertinent ACC pathophysiology and its implications for different systemic treatment regimens in R/M ACC. We review the evidence for the most widely used systemic agents - cytotoxic chemotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting VEGFR - in addition to immune checkpoint inhibitors and non-TKI biologic agents. Exciting emerging targets for R/M ACC, including inhibitors of Notch signaling, stemness, PRMT5, and Axl, are also discussed. Lastly, we review local therapies for small-volume lung disease in patients with oligometastatic ACC, specifically pulmonary metastasectomy and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Future development of targeted molecular agents which exploit the underlying biology of this disease may yield novel therapeutic options to improve clinical outcomes in patients with R/M ACC.

Abstract
Background: Pleomorphic adenoma (PA), also known as a mixed tumor, is a neoplasm of the glandular tissue. The maxillary sinus (MS) is an atypical location of PA; however, as an empty cavity inside the bone, it predisposes tumors to develop unnoticed. The aim of the following systematic review was to identify and characterize the diagnostics and prognosis of maxillary sinus pleomorphic adenoma (MSPA). Methods: The cases of MSPA that underwent treatment and were observed for possible recurrence were qualified for the review. The medical databases were searched using the following engines: ACM, BASE, Google Scholar and PubMed. The risk of bias was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tool for Case Reports. The extracted data were tabulated and summarized in a descriptive manner. Results: To the best knowledge of the authors, only seven cases of MSPA were described in the last 20 years. Relapse occurred in three of these cases and malignant transformation occurred in two. The longest recorded time without recurrence was 4 years. The size of the detected MSPA in the largest dimension ranged in various cases from 40 to 60 mm, with an average of 48 mm. Discussion: All but one of the seven included reports showed flaws during the risk of bias assessment. Only in two of seven reported cases was there no reason to suspect that the tumor had penetrated the sinus from the oral or nasal cavity. The MS is disadvantageous as a location as tumors occupying the entire volume of the sinus are often diagnosed. Recurrences and malignant transformations seem to be frequent and often remain undetected for a prolonged period. Other information: This research received no external funding.

Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant salivary gland neoplasm, commonly involving the major and minor salivary glands. Adenoid cystic carcinoma arising in the skull base region is considerably less common and is characterized by aggressive clinical behavior, perineural invasion, and intracranial extension. Classically, these tumors are composed of ductal and myoepithelial cells, arranged as tubules and cribriform structures, as well as in a solid pattern when higher in grade. The distinctive molecular findings in this tumor are the gene fusions involving the MYB/MYBL1 and NFIB genes. Squamous differentiation, trabecular, and macrocystic growth patterns are exceedingly rare in these tumors and when present can cause significant diagnostic challenges. Squamous differentiation, in particular, is considered by many to be an exclusion criterion for adenoid cystic carcinoma outside of cases with high-grade transformation. In addition, a similar-appearing tumor with squamous differentiation, namely human papillomavirus-related multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma, has recently been defined, further complicating this differential diagnosis. Recently, we have come across 3 cases of adenoid cystic carcinomas involving the sinonasal tract and skull base having extensive interconnecting trabecular growth, macrocysts, and squamous differentiation, yet demonstrating the signature fusions involving MYB-NFIB and MYBL1-NFIB by RNA sequencing. In this article, we describe the clinical, histomorphologic, and imaging findings of these cases and propose the appellation "metatypical adenoid cystic carcinoma" for this uncommon variant morphology.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adenoid cystic carcinoma rarely involves the nose and paranasal sinuses. It is a slowly growing, aggressive malignant tumor with a predisposition for perineural invasion. The study highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and management of adenoid cystic carcinoma. PRESENTATION OF CASE Herein, we report a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of maxillary antrum in a 69 years old female, who presented with an insidious onset of painful right cheek swelling for three months. Biopsy showed the glandular pattern of tumor cells with perineural invasion, suggestive of adenoid cystic carcinoma. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of paranasal sinuses showed a well-differentiated, irregularly outlined, non-enhancing heterogeneous lesion in the right maxillary sinus with bony destruction, suggesting the malignant nature of the lesion. The mass was surgically excised and histopathological examination further confirmed the diagnosis. DISCUSSION Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare malignancy of the nose and paranasal sinus, although it is quite common in salivary glands. It should be considered in the differentials in a patient presenting with sinonasal mass, pain, nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and auditory symptoms. CONCLUSION As the tumor can be missed clinically owing to its rarity in paranasal sinuses and can present at an advanced stage, early diagnosis and management of adenoid cystic carcinoma are important.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) portends a notoriously favorable prognosis in most patients with morbidity limited to localized destruction and recurrence. Metastatic BCC (mBCC) is an unexpected outcome affecting less than 1% of patients with a known primary lesion and predominantly involves regional lymph nodes. Reports of isolated bone involvement and spinal cord compression are rare. In the cases we identified in the literature, patients presented with massive primary lesions on the trunk that had been present for years and that were often still present at the time of diagnosis. Additionally, histology of distant metastatic lesions typically reveals aggressive subtypes. Herein, we report a case of mBCC in a patient with a history of BCC involving the cheek; the lesion was excised more than 10 years ago. He was referred to our institution for acutely worsening back pain and multifocal neurologic deficits. Clinical symptoms and radiographic findings demonstrated isolated bone involvement, with multiple lytic bone lesions and spinal cord compression noted on imaging studies. Biopsy revealed nests of small basaloid cells with peripheral palisading and immunohistochemical staining consistent with the unexpected diagnosis of mBCC, nodular subtype. Our case illustrates that a historically resected primary lesion may cause distant metastasis after a decade and that nonaggressive subtypes can also be implicated. We also provide insight into the potential pathogenesis of this manifestation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) is an established prognostic marker in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Currently, the role of HPV in sinonasal carcinoma is being explored. OBJECTIVES This systematic review addresses the role of HPV in sinonasal cancer, establishing the occurrence of HPV-positive cancers and the influence of HPV-positivity on prognosis in sinonasal cancer as well as the utility of the putative surrogate marker of HPV (p16) in sinonasal cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Studies were identified with searches of Medline via PubMed and Embase via OVID (4 May 2020). Articles on original research concerning sinonasal cancer and HPV in humans written in English were included. Case reports with less than five cases were excluded. RESULTS Initially, 545 articles were identified; 190 duplicate articles were removed leaving 355 articles for title/abstract screening. Title/abstract screening excluded 243 articles, leaving 112 studies assessed for eligibility. After full-text screening, 57 studies were included. All articles investigated the significance of HPV in sinonasal carcinomas. HPV was reported in approximately 30% of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC), where it was associated with a better prognosis. In sinonasal cancer, p16 is associated with diagnostic pitfalls and a putative utility of p16 in SNSCC has yet to be established. HPV was not frequently reported in other types of sinonasal carcinomas, besides the recently described subtype, HPV-dependent Multiphenotypic Sinonasal Carcinoma. In other types of sinonasal carcinoma, HPV is not frequently found. CONCLUSION Approximately 30% of SNSCC are HPV-positive. HPV-positivity in SNSCC is associated with improved survival. HPV occurs only rarely in other sinonasal cancers. There is currently not sufficient evidence for p16 as a surrogate marker of HPV in SNSCC.

Abstract
Introduction Primary tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and heterogeneous group of neoplasms arising from the respiratory tract. The solid variant of ACC is a histologically distinct subtype with an unfavorable clinical course. We report on a case of tracheal ACC with immunohistochemical and molecular analysis together with a review of the literature. Case Report We observed a case in which a 31-year-old male presented with a neoplasm bulging into the lumen and caused symptoms of tracheal obstruction and even hemoptysis. Cytological smears of an endobronchial fine needle aspiration revealed aggregates of basaloid cells with small to medium size, scant cytoplasm, and evenly hyperchromatic nuclei. Histologically, the tumor is characterized by a predominant compact sheet-like and nested pattern of rounded basaloid cells. Immunohistochemically, the tumor was diffusely positive for CK and CD117. CK7 and CK5/6 were focally positive in the genuine glandular structures. P63 was completely negative in the majority of neoplastic cells. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis revealed MYB gene rearrangement. Conclusion The solid variant of ACC from trachea is rare and hence poses diagnostic difficulty. Computed tomography (CT) scan and bronchoscopy help assess the extent of the disease. Histological features combined with immunophenotypic and molecular analysis aid in distinguishing this uncommon type from other round cell neoplasms. The accurate diagnosis can help expedite treatment of this highly aggressive tumor.

Abstract
Background Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) should be treated with a surgical procedure. Unfortunately, in some cases, such procedures are impossible to perform. In that event, radiotherapy can be used as a form of radical treatment, although ACC is established as a radio- and chemoresistant tumour. Therefore, unconventional fractionated radiotherapy needs to be considered. Case presentation Here, we present a case study of a patient with an unresectable tumour of the choanae and nasopharynx treated with a stereotactic radiotherapy boost in combination with conventional radiotherapy. We achieved complete clinical regression after application of a 1 × 18 Gy boost followed by conventional radiotherapy at 50 Gy in 25 fractions. The early and late tolerance of this treatment were positive. During the 2-year follow-up, local and distant recurrence were not detected. Conclusions This case represents an individualized, modern and safe approach to unresectable ACC. This is one of the first cases to show the use of a combination of stereotactic and conventional radiotherapy in radical, conservative cancer treatment.

Abstract
Aims Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a distinctive tumour. Limited studies involving a large population have reported multicentre systematic analyses of the clinical, pathological and immunohistochemical (IHC) features of ACC as well as the potential role of IHC markers in the prognosis of ACC. Methods and Results The clinical, histopathological and IHC data of 296 cases obtained from two tertiary hospitals were analysed. The age at onset ranged from 12 to 87 years with a median age of 52 years. The male‐to‐female ratio was 1:1.3. Patients with ACC arising from the lacrimal gland were younger than those with tumours arising from other sites. Patients with tumours in the extra auditory canal and nasopharynx were older than those with tumours in other locations. Histopathologically, solid type ACC was the most frequent in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus (6/51) group. Tumours arising from the oral cavity most commonly showed perineural invasion (10/60) and margin positivity (11/60). IHC analyses showed that CK8/18, CK7, CK14, epithelial membrane antigen and CD117 were expressed in 35/35 (100%), 87/88 (98.8%), 26/27 (96.2%), 42/43 (97.6%) and 113/120 (94.1%) patients, respectively. CK5/6, P63, smooth muscle actin, calponin and S100 were positively expressed in 73/73 (100%), 111/124 (89.5%), 38/43 (88.3%), 41/50 (82.0%) and 61/92 (66.3%) cases, respectively. S100 proteins were expressed in 54 (54/77) primary cases and two (2/9) metastatic cases (p = 0.013). Conclusions ACC is a distinctive tumour that mainly affects middle‐aged and elderly individuals, with a mild female predominance. Loss of expression of S100 proteins may be a poor prognostic factor associated with metastasis.

Primary Pituitary Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma: A Rare Salivary Gland-Like Tumor in the Sella. Head Neck Pathol 2021; 15:1289-1298.

Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a tumor of the exocrine glands that originates primarily from the minor and major salivary glands, nasopharynx, and lacrimal glands. ACC grows slowly but is locally aggressive and prone to recurrence. It is uncommon for ACCs to develop in the pituitary gland as a primary tumor. We present a case of primary pituitary ACC extending to the sphenoid sinus resembling an invasive adenoma in a 71-year-old woman with a history of nasal epistaxis. We reviewed other reported cases of pituitary ACCs with retrospective validation of whether the tumor was primary or not. The intrasellar tumor exhibited MYB rearrangement with enlargement and destruction of the sella turcica and dural tears toward the sphenoid sinus, which would be consistent for a tumor originating from the pituitary gland. Including our case, only four intrasellar and one suprasellar ACC have been confirmed as primary tumors. All intrasellar ACCs had the characteristic of some form of invasion of neighboring structures with evidence of hyperprolactinemia. ACC could develop in the pituitary gland as a form of salivary gland-like tumor derived from the ectopic salivary gland rests. ACCs rarely arise from the pituitary gland; however, the accurate determination of primary occurrence is difficult because of the invasive nature of these tumors, and the anatomical relationship with the sphenoid sinus and the cavernous sinus. Excessive bleeding from the tumor or unexpected internal carotid artery injury should be avoided during surgery for primary and secondary pituitary ACC.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review, the surgical approaches available on diagnosing a patient with salivary gland malignancy in the infratemporal fossa (ITF). To comment on patient evaluation and method of treatment selection. To identify and report on patient outcome data and make recommendations on future needs. RECENT FINDINGS There is a need to define the anatomic boundaries contents of the ITF, masticator space, parapharyngeal space (PPS), pterygopalatine fossa, ventral skull base, and paramedian skull base, as evidence from publications. The pathological subtypes identified mainly include adenoid cystic and mucoepidermoid carcinomas. The source of these tumours originates from primary disease in the sinonasal tract and nasopharynx superiorly, and the PPS/deep lobe of parotid inferiorly. Current surgical options available, in suitable selected patient, available in tertiary head and neck cancer hospitals, which have available facilities and staffing is the endoscopic endonasal approach. This approach offers patients a 'complete margin-free surgical excision', minimal complications, shorter hospital stay, and no delay with commencement of any adjuvant treatment compared with the traditional 'open transcutaneous' approach. SUMMARY The current evidence specifically to the surgical management of salivary gland malignancy involving the ITF is sparse, with great difficult identifying treated patients and their details among a heterogeneous group of patients with many lesions. There is a need for patient data that have specific pathologic conditions to be amalgamated from such centers and publish on outcome events.

Abstract
AIMS Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) is frequent in the sinonasal region. The recently described human papilloma virus (HPV)-related multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma (HMSC) histopathologically resembles solid AdCC, but has a better outcome. Thus, clinical and pathogenetic differences between HMSC and sinonasal AdCC necessitate their distinction. We conducted this study to assess p16 immunoexpression in previously diagnosed AdCC cases, and to identify HMSC cases in p16 immunopositive cases. METHODS AND RESULTS Cases diagnosed as sinonasal and nasopharyngeal AdCC were retrieved. Histomorphological features were reviewed. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for p16 was performed. HPV testing was performed in p16-positive cases by mRNA in-situ hybridisation (mRNA ISH) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. MYB rearrangement was assessed by fluorescence in-situ hybridisation. One hundred and two AdCC cases were retrieved. Six cases (5.9%) showed diffuse p16 positivity. HPV mRNA ISH and PCR were negative in p16-positive cases. Two cases showed MYB rearrangement. p16-positive cases were composed of basaloid cells demonstrating a cribriform pattern, at least focally. The predominant pattern was cribriform in three and solid in three cases. One case showed two distinct components: keratinising squamous cell carcinoma and cribriform AdCC. Other morphological patterns seen were tubular, reticular, epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma-like, and glomeruloid, forming a minor component of the tumour area. CONCLUSIONS p16 staining alone, even when diffuse and strong, cannot be used as a surrogate for HPV testing to distinguish sinonasal AdCC from HMSC. p16 IHC should be accompanied by more specific methods, such as mRNA ISH, so as not to erroneously diagnose HMSC over sinonasal AdCC, bearing in mind the highly aggressive nature of the latter.

Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the skin is the most common type of malignant human tumor. In Europe, the incidence of BCC ranges from 44.6 to 128 cases per 100,000 inhabitants annually, whereas in the United States, the yearly incidence rate ranges between 500 and 1500. The global incidence has been calculated to be as high as 10 million cases of BCC per year. There are 2 main clinical patterns of BCC-the familial BCC in basal cell nevus syndrome and sporadic BCC. The etiology of cutaneous BCC is usually the result of the interaction between solar ultraviolet radiation and genetic factors. Somatic or germline mutations in the effector components of the hedgehog signaling pathway (ie, PTCH1, PTCH2, SMO or SUFU genes) are responsible for ∼90% of the cases of both sporadic and familial BCC, all causing a constitutive activation of the hedgehog pathway. Cutaneous BCC very rarely metastasizes, and diagnosis in metastatic sites can be very difficult. Metastatic BCC has weakly effective therapeutic options with a poor prognosis until few years ago. In 2012, small-molecule therapies, involving inactivation of the hedgehog signaling pathway, and capable of reducing tumor growth and progression have been introduced into clinical practice for advanced (locally advanced or metastatic) BCC. We performed a comprehensive literature review on metastatic BCC and found at least 915 cases reported to date. In addition, we extensively discussed the differential diagnosis of metastatic BCC, and outlined the advances in clinical therapeutics involving these small molecules.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the present study, we aimed to investigate the prognostic value of RUNX1 expression in 76 patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). MATERIALS AND METHODS All cases were arranged in tissue microarray blocks and submitted to immunohistochemistry against RUNX1. These results were statistically correlated with clinicopathologic features, including age, gender, tumour site, tumour size, lymph node status, AJCC clinical stage, distant metastasis, treatment, recurrences, follow-up, histologic pattern, vascular and neural invasion, all of which obtained from patient's medical records. RESULTS RUNX1 was expressed in the nuclei of tumour cells, with a mean of 18.1% of positivity. Nuclear RUNX1 expression was significantly associated with AJCC clinical stage (p < .0001), solid histologic pattern (p < .0001), vascular invasion (p < .0001) and presence of local recurrence (p < .0001). Using univariate and multivariate analyses, RUNX1 nuclear expression was significantly associated with a lower disease-free survival (p < .0001 and p = .028, respectively) and disease-specific survival (p < .0001 and p = .018, respectively) rates. CONCLUSION In summary, RUNX1 nuclear expression may represent an indicator of unfavourable outcome for patients affected by head and neck ACC.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) in the maxillary sinus and their correlations with the tubular, cribriform, and solid histopathologic types of ACC. STUDY DESIGN Twenty cases of histopathologically proven ACC in the maxillary sinus were retrospectively reviewed. CT and MRI findings were correlated with histopathologic results. RESULTS On CT, significant differences were discovered among the 3 histopathologic ACC types in range, size, shape, margins, type of bone destruction, and time intensity curve (TIC) (P ≤ .018). Tubular lesions were limited in range, were smaller than the other types, produced small cystic patterns with well-defined margins, and caused a cribriform pattern of bone destruction. All tumors demonstrated heterogeneous intensity signal on T1- and T2-weighted images (T1WI and T2WI) and appeared as hypo- or isointense small cystic lesions on T1WI and hyperintense on T2WI (n = 6). Postcontrast MRI revealed marked heterogeneous enhancement for all lesions. The TIC showed a rapidly enhancing and slow washout pattern in all tubular lesions and a rapidly enhancing and rapid washout pattern in solid tumors. CONCLUSIONS Different histologic patterns of ACCs have distinctive radiologic features, which can facilitate accurate preoperative diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine factors affecting outcomes for patients with sinonasal and nasopharyngeal adenoid cystic carcinoma (SNACC) treated using the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) with preservation of key structures followed by adjuvant radiotherapy (RT). METHOD Retrospective case series of 30 patients treated at the University of Pittsburgh between 2000 and 2014. Hospital records were reviewed for clinical and pathologic data. Outcome measures included overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) rates. RESULTS The majority of patients had T4a and T4b disease (23.3%, and 63.3%). Microscopically positive margins were present in 21 patients (63.6%). Positive margins were present in nine patients (30.0%). The mean and median follow-up were 3.97 and 3.29 years. Five-year OS, DFS, LRFS, and DMFS were 62.66%, 58.45%, 87.54%, and 65.26%. High-/intermediate-grade tumors had worse DFS (P = .023), and LRFS (P = .026) (HR = 4.837, 95% CI, 1.181-19.812). No factors were associated with significantly worse DMFS. No patient suffered CSF leak, optic nerve, or internal carotid injury. The mean and median length of hospital stay was 4.1 days and 2.0 days (range: 0-32 days). CONCLUSION Organ-preserving EEA with adjuvant RT for low-grade SNACC offers 5-year survival similar to that reported by other studies, which include radical, open skull base surgery. Patients with high-grade disease do poorly and may benefit from novel treatment strategies. For low-grade disease, organ-preserving EEA with RT may be the best option, offering a balance of survival, quality of life, and decreased morbidity for patients with this difficult-to-cure disease. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 Laryngoscope, 130:1414-1421, 2020.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic skull-base surgery (ESBS) is employed in the management of diverse skull-base pathologies. Paralleling the increased utilization of ESBS, the literature in this field has expanded rapidly. However, the rarity of these diseases, the inherent challenges of surgical studies, and the continued learning curve in ESBS have resulted in significant variability in the quality of the literature. To consolidate and critically appraise the available literature, experts in skull-base surgery have produced the International Consensus Statement on Endoscopic Skull-Base Surgery (ICAR:ESBS). METHODS Using previously described methodology, topics spanning the breadth of ESBS were identified and assigned a literature review, evidence-based review or evidence-based review with recommendations format. Subsequently, each topic was written and then reviewed by skull-base surgeons in both neurosurgery and otolaryngology. Following this iterative review process, the ICAR:ESBS document was synthesized and reviewed by all authors for consensus. RESULTS The ICAR:ESBS document addresses the role of ESBS in primary cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea, intradural tumors, benign skull-base and orbital pathology, sinonasal malignancies, and clival lesions. Additionally, specific challenges in ESBS including endoscopic reconstruction and complication management were evaluated. CONCLUSION A critical review of the literature in ESBS demonstrates at least the equivalency of ESBS with alternative approaches in pathologies such as CSF rhinorrhea and pituitary adenoma as well as improved reconstructive techniques in reducing CSF leaks. Evidence-based recommendations are limited in other pathologies and these significant knowledge gaps call upon the skull-base community to embrace these opportunities and collaboratively address these shortcomings.

Abstract
Sinonasal carcinomas account for 3% of ENT cancers. They are subdivided into squamous cell carcinomas (50%), adenocarcinomas [20%, mostly of intestinal type (ITAC)], and more rarely, adenoid cystic carcinomas, olfactory neuroblastomas (=esthesioneuroblastomas), neuroendocrine carcinomas or undifferentiated sinonasal carcinomas (SNUC). The 5-year survival rates are, in descending order, 72% for neuroblastomas, 63% for adenocarcinomas, 50-60% for large-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas, 53% for squamous cell carcinomas, 25-50% for adenoid cystic, 35% for small-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas and 35% for SNUC and newly discovered histologies. Surgery is the main treatment; endoscopic approaches reduce the morbidity with equivalent tumour control. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is almost systematic. Nodal involvement is rare in ethmoidal adenocarcinomas and adenoid cystic carcinomas; it is intermediate and may justify prophylactic radiotherapy for N0 necks in SNUC, neuroblastoma, squamous cell carcinomas and sinonasal neuroendocrine carcinomas. IMRT or proton therapy is the mainstay of treatment of unresectable disease. Radiotherapy optimization by carbon ion therapy for adenoid cystic carcinomas, or by chemotherapy for all carcinomas with IMRT or proton therapy, is investigated within clinical trials in France. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is reserved for rapidly progressive disease or histologies with a high metastatic potential such as neuroendocrine carcinomas or SNUC. Given their histologic and molecular specificities and different relapse patterns, an expertise of the REFCOR network, with REFCORpath review, is likely to correct diagnoses, rectify treatments, with an impact on survival.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Laryngeal adenoid cystic carcinoma (LACC) is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm. The etiology of LACC remains unknown, and it is characterized by multiple recurrences, slow progression, and late distant metastasis. This study aimed to provide more information regarding the characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of LACC by analyzing 3 clinical cases and reviewing the literature on this topic. PATIENT CONCERNS Here, we present all 3 cases of LACC within the period between 2010 and 2019. Dyspnea was the most commonly observed symptom in these patients, followed by hoarseness, pharyngeal paresthesia, and difficulty swallowing. DIAGNOSIS All patients were pathologically confirmed as LACC. INTERVENTIONS All the patients underwent a combined therapy of surgical resection plus external irradiation. OUTCOMES The follow-up time was between 2 and 6 years; no local recurrence occurred in any of the 3 patients. Lung metastasis was found in 1 patient 6 years after surgery. CONCLUSION LACC is usually a slowly progressing cancer; the main treatment methods are surgery and radiotherapy, and the adequate radiotherapy dose should usually be greater than 60 Gy. The 5-year disease-specific survival rate is high; however, distant metastasis may still occur in patients with LACC even beyond 5 years after treatment. Therefore, patients with LACC require long-term surveillance.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma is a distinct, recently described neoplasm of salivary gland nature that has an unusual microscopic appearance exhibiting multidirectional differentiation. Originally described by Bishop et al. in 2012, this distinct form of head and neck cancer is a very rare entity that few pathologists have encountered in practice, and only 50 cases have been reported in the literature. It usually presents as a large, destructive mass confined to the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses, and is always associated with high-risk HPV infection. Although histologically it often resembles adenoid cystic carcinoma, this neoplasm also consistently exhibits features of myoepithelial, ductal and squamous differentiation. Newly recognized characteristics have recently been described that include bizarre pleomorphism, sarcomatoid transformation, and heterologous cartilaginous differentiation. These unique features have continued to expand the morphologic spectrum of this neoplasm and justify the recent change in its nomenclature from "HPV-related carcinoma with adenoid cystic-like features" to "HPV-related multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma (HMSC)". In 2017, "HPV-related carcinoma with adenoid cystic like features" was included as a provisional tumor type by the World Health Organization Classification of Head and Neck Tumors. Despite the presence of high-grade histologic characteristics such as necrosis and brisk mitotic activity, and a tendency for recurrence, HMSC demonstrates indolent clinical behavior and carries a good prognosis.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma (HMSC), originally known as HPV-related carcinoma with adenoid cystic carcinoma-like features, is a recently described neoplasm that presents only in the sinonasal tract, displays features of both a surface-derived carcinoma and a salivary gland carcinoma, and is associated with high-risk HPV, specifically HPV type 33. Majority of the cases display high-grade histologic features, but HMSC paradoxically behaves in a relatively indolent fashion. Distinguishing HMSC from other histologic mimickers is essential as the management and prognosis are significantly different. In this article, we present a unique case of HMSC and review the literature.

Abstract
Objectives Sinonasal adenocarcinoma (AC) is a potentially curable disease despite being an aggressive malignancy. Long-term survival can be achieved with early diagnosis and adequate multidisciplinary treatment. Our goal was to evaluate outcomes for patients with AC treated at our institution. Design In a population-based consecutive prospective cohort, we conducted an analysis of all patients treated for surface epithelial AC between 1995 and 2018. Results Twenty patients were included, and follow-up was 100%. The mean follow-up time was 89 months for the entire cohort (112 months for patients with no evidence of disease). Intestinal-type AC was found in 65%, whereas nonintestinal-type AC was found in 35% of all cases; 75% had stage T3/4 disease. Tumor grade was intermediate/high in 65%. Eighteen patients underwent treatment with curative intent (craniofacial resection [CFR] in 61%, transfacial approach in 39%, adjuvant radiotherapy in 89%), achieving negative margins in 56% of cases. Overall survival (OS) rates were 90, 68, and 54% after 2, 5, and 10 years of follow-up, respectively, and the corresponding disease-specific survival (DSS) rates were 90, 73, and 58%. Age over 60 years, tumor with a maxillary origin, and microscopic bone invasion were negative prognostic factors. Radical CFR was correlated with better OS and DSS. Conclusion The high probability of achieving radicality with CFR, the low complication rate, the acceptable toxicity of modern irradiation modalities, and the promising survival rates indicate that this strategy might be considered a safe and an effective option for treating patients with very advanced sinonasal AC.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related carcinoma with adenoid cystic-like features is a rare, recently recognized entity restricted to the sinonasal tract. By definition, it is associated with high-risk HPV infection, particularly with HPV type 33. In most cases, tumors are composed of dual cell populations, including predominant basaloid myoepithelial cells and usually inconspicuous ductal cells. Solid components with focal cribriform or tubular patterns, abrupt keratinization within tumor nests, and squamous dysplasia of the surface epithelium are characteristics of HPV-related carcinoma with adenoid cystic-like features. The immunohistochemistry of p16 followed by high-risk HPV testing may help in the differential diagnosis. Recent studies have demonstrated that the morphologic features of this entity are more diverse than initially believed. Surgical resection is the prime alternative for treatment. According to the limited data, the prognosis of this disease may be better than that of other sinonasal carcinomas.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the head and neck is a rare and highly malignant tumor, characterized by perineural growth and early distant metastases. The composition of immune cells in the peripheral blood and the tumor microenvironment is critical to tumor growth and control. However, little is known about the frequency and function of the relevant immune cell subsets in this entity. METHODS In ACC patients (n = 11) and matched healthy donors (n = 11), the frequency of peripheral blood T and B cells was measured by flow cytometry at different treatment stages of disease (24 samples). Cells were further characterized by their expression of CCR7, PD-1, CD39 and CD73. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for ten patients and for three patients by flow cytometry. RESULTS CD4+ T cells had significantly lower frequency after radiotherapy (RT). All other cell frequencies, including Treg, were stable through course of the disease. In B cells, CD73 was reduced after RT. CCR7 expression on T and B cells in patients with relapse/metastases (R/M) differed significantly from patients with active disease. PD-1 remained stable. Treg were more present in TIL compared to peripheral blood. CONCLUSION Composition of lymphocyte subgroups behaves similar to squamous cell carcinoma in the head and neck, except for Treg, which remained stable. Nevertheless, the CD4+/Treg ratio was lower after RT, which could stand for an immunosuppressive effect in these patients. Therefore, it could be beneficial treating ACC with combined RT and immunomodulatory drugs.

Diagn Pathol 2019; 14:14. [PMID: 30736793 PMCID: PMC6368765 DOI: 10.1186/s13000-019-0796-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2018] [Accepted: 02/01/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a salivary gland malignancy with poor long-term survival, which warrants studies aimed at clarifying the pathogenesis of this disease in order to widen the scope of therapeutic options currently available. Alterations in regulatory mechanisms relating to vascular support, cell death and autophagy are important pathways for tumor growth in cancer. Thus, the present study aimed to access vascular supply, apoptosis, autophagy and cell senescence in ACC of minor salivary glands. Methods We analyzed 25 cases of minor salivary gland ACC by immunohistochemistry using anti-CD34, anti-CD105, anti-D2–40, anti-Bax, anti-Bcl-2, anti-Beclin-1, anti-LC3B, anti-p21 and anti-p16. Results Microvessel density was low and based on anti-CD34, anti-CD105 and anti-D2–40 immunostaining. There was positivity for anti-CD34, anti-Bcl-2, anti-Beclin, anti-LC3B and anti-p21 and a positive correlation between Bcl-2 and Beclin (p = 0.014). Conclusions Our results showed that ACC does not depend on neo-angiogenesis and is probably associated to anti-apoptotic, autophagic and anti-senescence events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess diagnostic efficacy of imaging techniques for mandibular invasion by head and neck cancer. METHODS Thirteen databases were searched. Study inclusion, data-extraction and quality assessment were performed independently. STATA 14.0 were mainly used for meta-analysis. RESULTS Forty-nine studies were included. For mandibular invasion (cortex and marrow), CBCT, SPECT, CT, MRI, orthopantomography, PET-CT and bone-scintigraphy showed pooled sensitivities of 90%, 97%, 73%, 88%, 75%, 90%, 92%, specificities of 85%, 69% 91%, 90%, 83%, 89%, 79%, AUC of 0.9461, 0.9434, 0.8995, 0.9296, 0.8761, 0.9290, 0.9207, respectively. The combined SROC curves indicated CBCT and SPECT were superior to other techniques. For mandibular medullary invasion (marrow), CT and MRI showed pooled sensitivities of 85% and 93%, specificities of 86% and 84%. CONCLUSIONS CBCT was top-priority choice for bone invasion diagnosis. SPECT was recommended for exclusion, CT and MRI were suitable for conformation. Further investigations are needed for mandibular medullary involvement.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma (HMSC) is associated with high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) infection. Using HR-HPV messenger RNA (mRNA) in situ hybridization (ISH), we reported 6 new HMSC cases and compared their histopathology with that of sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma. Using p16 immunohistochemistry (IHC) and HR-HPV ISH, we retrospectively identified 6 HMSC cases. All HMSC cases were positive for HR-HPV mRNA ISH and p16 IHC. Two HMSC cases had overlying atypical squamous epithelium, and 1 had invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). All HMSC cases were SOX10 positive, whereas the overlying atypical squamous epithelium and the SCC were SOX10 negative. One atypical HMSC-like case was also identified, which was positive for HR-HPV mRNA ISH, HR-HPV DNA ISH, and SOX10 IHC, but negative for p16 IHC. This study showed that HR-HPV mRNA ISH was a useful tool to diagnose HMSC and had stronger signals compared with HR-HPV DNA ISH. HR-HPV E6/E7 mRNA could be identified in the overlying atypical squamous epithelium and the invasive SCC. A combination of p16 and SOX10 IHC will be a useful screening panel for HMSC followed by confirmatory HR-HPV mRNA ISH test.

Abstract
Background Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), a rare tumor of epithelial cell origin, commonly arises from the major salivary glands. Uncommonly it may be found outside the salivary glands and it's especially rare in the nasal cavity. Case presentation A 71-year female had complaints of swelling at the base of nose, Fine needle aspiration (FNA) from the swelling revealed features of adenoid cystic carcinoma; cell block & IHC for CD-117 was positive. Conclusions Sino-nasal ACC (SNACC) continues to pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to clinicians. Due to its rarity & vague presentation, early diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. FNA can be used as an invaluable diagnostic tool in the evaluation of these lesions. Since it's incidence in sinonasal region is rare; our attempt to report this case will heighten the physician's awareness of this disease, helping further treatment.

Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC), one of the most common salivary gland carcinomas, usually has a fatal outcome. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway gene mutations are important in predicting a patient's prognosis and estimating the efficacy of molecular therapy targeting the EGFR pathway. In this study of salivary gland AdCC (SAdCC), we looked for gene mutations in EGFR, RAS family (KRAS, HRAS, and NRAS), PIK3CA, BRAF, and AKT1, using a highly sensitive single-base extension multiplex assay, SNaPshot. Out of 70 cases, EGFR pathway missense mutations were found in 13 (18.6%): RAS mutations in 10 (14.3%), EGFR in one (1.4%), and PIK3CA in 5 (7.1%). None of the cases showed an EGFR deletion by direct sequencing. Concurrent gene mutations were found in three cases (4.3%). EGFR pathway mutations were significantly associated with a shorter disease-free (p = 0.011) and overall survival (p = 0.049) and RAS mutations were as well; (p = 0.010) and (p = 0.024), respectively. The gene fusion status as determined by a FISH assay had no significant association with mutations of the genes involved in the EGFR pathway. In conclusion, EGFR pathway mutations, especially RAS mutations, may be frequent in SAdCC, and associated with a poor prognosis for the patient.

Abstract
A wide variety of tumors present in the sinonasal and ventral skull base. Patients often have nonspecific symptoms initially and present with advanced tumors, affecting the orbit and other adjacent structures. Evaluation of these malignancies with modern imaging techniques can define tumor invasion, but biopsy is often required to establish a diagnosis because most have a nonspecific appearance. A thorough understanding of the anatomy is the key to treatment planning, and a multidisciplinary approach determines the optimal strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to review long-term outcomes of sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and to clarify its association with human papillomavirus (HPV). METHODS The medical records of 23 patients with sinonasal ACC treated with primary surgical resection between 1998 and 2013 were reviewed. Tissue specimens were available for 17 patients. The p16 testing was performed using immunohistochemistry (IHC), and HPV infection was determined using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with primers targeting the E6/E7 region. RESULTS Two of the 17 samples showed strong and diffuse p16 staining, whereas the remaining 15 cases showed p16-positivity isolated to the luminal cells. Only one of the p16-positive cases was positive for HPV. The 5-year local failure, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) were 51%, 52%, and 62%, respectively. CONCLUSION Local failures are common with advanced sinonasal ACC, and the association of HPV with true sinonasal ACC is low.

Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is characterized by slow growth, frequent local recurrences, and high incidence of distant metastasis (DM). The aim of this study was to evaluate predictive factors for local-regional (LR) recurrence, DM, and survival in ACC.A retrospective review of the medical records for patients with salivary glands ACC from 1990 to 2015 was performed. The clinical parameters were assessed to identify correlations with the development of LR recurrence, DM, and survival of these patients.Among 228 patients who underwent surgery as definitive treatment, 210 (92.1%) were followed up in the study. DM was detected in 64 (30.5%) patients, LR recurrence was detected in 58 (27.6%) patients. The estimated 5, 10, and 15-year overall survival rates were 84.7%, 70.8%, and 34.0%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that the presence of lymphovascular invasion and a high T classification were very strong adverse factors, which independently influenced LR recurrence, DM, and survival of ACC patients. Positive/close margin and N+ status were independent risk factors for DM and LR recurrence, respectively. Survival of ACC patents was also affected by tumor location.Presence of lymphovascular invasion and a high T classification were very strong adverse factors and independent predictors for ACC patients' prognosis, which influenced LR control, DM control, and survival.

Abstract
Although clinical history and morphologic appearance should be the initial considerations when evaluating small round blue cell tumors of the sinonasal tract, the final diagnosis often hinges on immunohistochemical findings. Unfortunately, interpretation of stains in these tumors is fraught with numerous pitfalls and limitations. This article presents an approach to sinonasal small round blue cell tumors based on four common immunohistochemical patterns: cytokeratin positivity, squamous marker positivity, neuroendocrine marker positivity, and cytokeratin negativity.
