Abstract
- We encountered a patient with adenoid cystic carcinoma of a lacrimal gland and multiple pulmonary metastases. The patient underwent resection of a left orbital tumor, which was followed by 60 Gy of radiation therapy. The pathological diagnosis was adenoid cystic carcinoma with a cribriform pattern. About one year after diagnosis, metastases to the lung, liver, bone, and skin were found, but there was ro local recurrence. A chest CT image revealed findings characteristic of hematogenous metastases: multiple discrete tumor shadows distributed over the entire left and right lung fields. We collected 24 reports of similar cases. The cases with pulmonary metastases had poor outcomes.
