Abstract

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) commonly originates in the major salivary glands and respiratory tract, but it is extremely rare to find ACC in the esophagus. ACC of the esophagus is clinopathologically different from the salivary gland variant. It shows more aggressive malignant behavior and a very poor prognosis. We report here on the surgical and clinopathologic findings of ACC of the esophagus in a 65-year-old man, and we also include a review of the relevant medical literature.

선양 낭포성 암종은 주로 주타액선, 호흡기 등에 잘 발생하는 종양으로 식도에서는 매우 드물게 발생한다. 식도의 선양 낭포성 암종은 타액선에 발생하는 것과는 임상병리학적으로 차이가 있으며, 악성도가 높고 예후가 불량하다. 저자들은 65세 남자 환자에서 발생한 식도의 선양 낭포성 암종을 치험하였기에 이에 대한 수술 및 임상병리적 소견을 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
