Article Synopsis
- * A case study discusses a woman with ACC of the submandibular gland who, after surgery, was found to have a liver lesion initially thought to be benign but later identified as metastatic ACC.
- * After a successful liver sectionectomy, the patient has been disease-free for 2.5 years, emphasizing that even early-stage ACC can show liver metastases that may be treated effectively.

The aim of this study was to compare NOSE and transabdominal specimen extraction in laparoscopic (LAP) colorectal cancer surgery for postoperative outcomes and oncological safety.
