Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) of the breast is a rare histological subtype of breast cancer, which usually has a low propensity for metastasis and is associated with a good prognosis. AdCC metastasis to the kidney is rare, with only 29 cases reported in the literature. We report a case of a woman in her 60s with multiple right-sided large cystic-solid renal lesions after a recent diagnosis of marginal zone B-cell lymphoma.

Article Synopsis
  • Adenoid cystic carcinomas (AdCC) of salivary gland origin are primarily defined by the presence of specific gene fusions, notably MYB::NFIB and MYBL1::NFIB, with sinonasal AdCC being particularly aggressive and lacking effective treatments.
  • Researchers conducted an extensive analysis of 88 sinonasal AdCC cases using various techniques like NGS and FISH to identify gene fusions and mutations, finding that the majority harbored canonical fusions while some had noncanonical ones, with a few tumors showing no fusions at all.
  • Mutational analysis revealed that about 68% of AdCCs tested (21 out of 31) had mutations in key oncogenes, highlighting potential areas for targeted
