AI Article Synopsis
- Primary intraosseous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PIACC) is a rare type of jaw cancer, with only 51 documented cases in English literature.
- A 70-year-old woman exhibited symptoms including paresthesia in her chin and underwent radiographic imaging, which showed an abnormal area in the jaw, leading to a biopsy that confirmed the diagnosis.
- Despite undergoing chemotherapy, her condition worsened with the presence of multiple bone metastases; hence, she received supportive care for an additional three years.
Article Abstract
Primary intraosseous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PIACC) of the jaw is rare. To our knowledge, only 51 cases have been reported in the English literature. We present a rare case of PIACC arising in the mandible with multiple bone metastases and review the previous articles. A 70-year-old woman presented with paresthesia of the right chin and lower gingiva for 4 months. Radiography revealed an irregular radiolucent region on the right side of the ramus, infiltrating to the mandibular canal. Biopsy revealed a pathological diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma. Multiple bone metastases were present in the sternum, scapula, and thighs. The treatment effect was progressive disease for chemotherapy; therefore, best supportive care was provided for 3 years.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare head and neck cancer; even more infrequently, it presents as a primary lesion at other sites. Due to ACC's usual pattern of perineural and perivascular spread, it often manifests in delayed local recurrence and distant metastases. Metastasis to the kidney is very rare with as few as 15 cases reported in the literature.

Purpose: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) perform as a treatment option for locally advanced or recurrent unresectable head and neck cancers since June 2020 in Japan. The effect of BNCT on parotid carcinoma, which presents a variety of histologic types, remains unclear. The object of this study was to investigate the antitumor efficacy of BNCT against parotid gland carcinoma by focusing on LAT1, which is involved in the uptake of L-BPA, the boron compound used in BNCT.
