Salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma. Features of an intra-abdominal metastasis.
An adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary gland origin metastasized to the abdomen four years after the initial diagnosis. It showed heavy uptake of Ga-67 citrate and hypervascularity. The clinical and pathologic features are discussed. Gallium scan and arteriography (usually external carotid artery injection) may prove helpful in the early diagnosis and management in the various phases of the disease.
