Adenoid cystic carcinoma
A malignant tumor arising from the epithelial cells. Microscopically, the neoplastic epithelial cells form cylindrical spatial configurations (cribriform or classic type of adenoid cystic carcinoma), cordlike structures (tubular type of adenoid cystic carcinoma), or solid structures (basaloid variant of adenoid cystic carcinoma). Adenoid cystic carcinomas mostly occur in the salivary glands. Other primary sites of involvement include the lacrimal gland, the larynx, and the lungs. Adenoid cystic carcinomas spread along nerve sheaths, resulting in severe pain, and they tend to recur. Lymph node metastases are unusual; hematogenous tumor spread is characteristic.

In your experience, do you believe that the external factors—such as treatment costs, institutional policies, or insurance limitations, affect the treatment choices made by hospitals or doctors, rather than focusing solely on the patient's needs?

Uterine leiomyomas, often known as fibroids, are estimated to affect 77% of reproductive-aged women. Congenital uterine anomalies exist in approximately 4.3% of fertile women. Of these 4.3% of patients, uterine didelphys is present in only 8%. Given these statistics, a case with these characteristics has a 0.0026% chance of occurrence. As a result, when the patient presented with leiomyomas in both uteri, it is essential to discuss this case due to its rarity. Check out this case presentation by Dr. Viraj and share your views on the case. Follow us for more such updates!
