Adenoid Basal Carcinoma with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Component of the Uterine Cervix: A Case Report and Literature Review.
International Journal of Surgical Pathology 2023 August
Adenoid basal carcinoma (ABC) is rare cancer with a favorable prognosis. However, some ABCs are associated with other histological types, such as squamous cell carcinoma. Here, we present a case of a mixed tumor of ABC and adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the cervix, with a detailed immunohistochemical study and literature review. We describe a case of a 66-year-old woman who underwent cervical cancer screening that led to the detection of a 0.7 cm nodular lesion. Cervical punch biopsies revealed a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion. Cervical conization revealed a mixed carcinoma composed of ABC and ACC, showing stromal invasion, lymphovascular invasion, and positive resection margins. Immunohistochemically, the ACC components were positive for KIT and αSMA and negative for NKX3.1. The tumor presented with proficient mismatch repair (MMR) and was negative for HER2, PD-L1, and TRKA (NTRK1). Subsequent radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection revealed the presence of residual tumor cells in the cervix. Our literature review identified six similar cases, including one patient who died of disease recurrence. We report a rare tumor comprising both ABC and ACC. Prognostic data on mixed tumors are scarce; however, given the aggressive nature of ACC, attention should be paid to the detection of mixed tumors. Since ABC and ACC histology may overlap, adequate sampling and IHC for detecting ACC would be helpful.
