The authors report on a case of cylindroma of the cervix combined with a carcinoma in situ. Reviewing the literature which helped them, they studied the anatomo-pathological characteristics as well as the histogenesis and the therapy for cylindromas, which are more often found in other parts of the body. In particular, they are found in the salivary glands. There the origin is still uncertain and the evolution from the same stage is worse than in epidermoid carcinoma of the cervix.

Introduction And Importance: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is an uncommon malignant tumor with histological features commonly associated with salivary glands. Although it is thought that human papillomavirus infection is a required cause of most cases of cervical cancer, little is known about its function in the pathophysiology of ACC. Patients with ACC usually present with vaginal bleeding, and physical examination may reveal a firm, palpable mass that may be friable or ulcerated.

Under 10% of gynaecological cancers are diagnosed in the vulva and vagina, mostly squamous cell carcinomas. Melanoma, Paget disease, basal cell carcinomas, and other cancers can present with vulval/vaginal symptoms. The pathology information system of a tertiary referral center for vulvo-vaginal cancers was searched for cancers of the vulva and vagina from 1996 to 2019.

Adenoid basal carcinoma (ABC) is rare cancer with a favorable prognosis. However, some ABCs are associated with other histological types, such as squamous cell carcinoma. Here, we present a case of a mixed tumor of ABC and adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the cervix, with a detailed immunohistochemical study and literature review.

Its location in the larynx and trachea are rare. We present the case of a 45-year-old healthy male whose MRI revealed a posterior endoluminal tumor that invaded the posteroinferior perichondrium of the cricoid lamina and displaced the hypopharynx and esophagus.
