Primary<\/span> cutaneous<\/span> adenoid cystic<\/span> carcinoma<\/span> (PCACC) is a rare skin Cancer<\/span> it is believed to originate in the sweat ducts.<\/p>\n<\/span>What are adenoid cystic carcinomas?<\/span><\/h2>\nPCACC is part of a group of tumors called adenoid cystic carcinomas. They share similar characteristics under the microscope (see pathology<\/span> adenoid cystic carcinoma) but have clear differences in clinical behavior and forecast<\/span>. The types of adenoid cystic carcinoma include:<\/p>\n\n- Cutaneous (described here)<\/li>\n
- Salivary (most common)<\/li>\n
- Airways (lung, trachea, sinuses)<\/li>\n
- \nTear<\/span> glands (eyelids)<\/li>\n
- Chest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The cutaneous type (PCACC) progresses slowly and rarely spreads to other areas of the body. It has a better prognosis than others in the group, such as the type of salivary gland. The cause is unknown.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Who is at risk for primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma?<\/span><\/h2>\nPCACC generally affects adults with fair complexions. It typically occurs between the ages of 50 and 70. It occurs in men and women equally and more frequently with increasing age.<\/p>\n
While immunosuppression increases the risk of some other cancers, such as scaly<\/span> cell carcinoma (SCC), this does not increase the risk of PCACC.<\/p>\nDue to the rarity of this cancer, other risk factors have not yet been identified.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/span>What does PCACC look like?<\/span><\/h2>\nPCACC is generally a firm skin-colored solitaire nodule<\/span> or license plate<\/span>. It grows slowly over months or years. It most commonly occurs on the scalp. Other sites include the head, face, neck, trunk, and perineum<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n<\/span>Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

<\/span>Treatment of PCACC<\/span><\/h2>\nTreatment for PCACC depends on its size and location. Most lesions are removed surgically. A wide margin (for example, 1 cm) is recommended to reduce the risk of reappearance<\/span>as it is often difficult to determine the boundary between cancer and normal skin. Mohs micrographic surgery has been used in some cases where it is difficult to achieve a wide margin around the tumor<\/span>.<\/p>\nRadiotherapy<\/span> commonly used as attached<\/span> therapy, and may be recommended if the margins are narrow or injury<\/span> it has been incompletely excised.<\/p>\n<\/span>What happens after the treatment?<\/span><\/h2>\nWhile most PCACCs are cured with initial treatment, a large proportion (reports range from 22 to 70%) recur in the original location. This is more likely if the histology<\/span> has shown perineural<\/span> invasion, incomplete removal, or narrow margins. Recurrence usually occurs within 5 years, although there are reports of recurrence up to 35 years after the initial extraction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span>\nMetastatic<\/span> PCACC<\/span><\/h2>\nSpread to other areas of the body (metastasis<\/span>) It's very weird. When it occurs, PCACC most commonly spreads to the lungs.<\/p>\nMetastatic PCACC is treated with a combination of surgery excision<\/span>, radiation therapy and chemotherapy<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anuncio C\u00e1ncer de piel Aplicaci\u00f3n para facilitar el autoexamen de la piel y la detecci\u00f3n temprana.
