Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the vulva. Malignant cylindroma. 1978

M G Dodson, and J A O'Leary, and E Orfei

A case of adenoid cystic carcinoma (cylindroma) of the vulva is presented, reviewing the clinical course and response to therapy over a 5-year period. Only 9 previous cases had been reported by 1963. Several sources of cell origin had been previously suggested. Findings and histology in this case support a relation to a similar tumor occurring in other sites of the upper respiratory tract and salivary gland.

D003528 Carcinoma, Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma characterized by bands or cylinders of hyalinized or mucinous stroma separating or surrounded by nests or cords of small epithelial cells. When the cylinders occur within masses of epithelial cells, they give the tissue a perforated, sievelike, or cribriform appearance. Such tumors occur in the mammary glands, the mucous glands of the upper and lower respiratory tract, and the salivary glands. They are malignant but slow-growing, and tend to spread locally via the nerves.
