    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is the most common ceruminous gland tumor.
    • ACC is unique in its propensity for widespread pulmonary metastases.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of ACC arising in a ceruminous gland with pulmonary metastases is detailed.
    • Diagnosis was established through needle aspiration of a pulmonary metastasis, a first in English literature.
    • The study reviews literature on histological features and clinical course of ceruminous gland ACC.

    Findings:

    • Pulmonary metastases from ceruminous gland tumors are more common in females.
    • Females experience pulmonary metastases nearly three times more often than males.
    • ACC is the sole ceruminous gland tumor type causing extensive lung metastases.

    Implications:

    • Wide local excision of the primary tumor and metastases is recommended.
    • Surgical excision of distant metastases is advised when feasible.
    • Careful follow-up for pulmonary metastases is crucial, particularly in female patients.
