Adenoid cystic carcinoma presenting as an orbital apex syndrome. 1985

H R McDonald, and D H Char

Adenoid cystic carcinomas (cylindromas) are distinctive neoplasms characterized by slow growth, perineural spread, extensive local invasion, frequent recurrence, and high mortality. A case of paranasal sinus adenoid cystic carcinoma presenting as an orbital apex syndrome is described.

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.
