Atypical manifestations of pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma.
Pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma (PACC) typically arises in large airways. A patient who presented with a peripheral lung mass due to PACC is reported. She was found to have multiple pulmonary nodules due to PACC 11 years after resection of the original tumour. We emphasize that 10-15% of patients with PACC present with peripheral tumours.
