Preferred Label : adenoid cystic carcinoma;
Definition : Carcinoma characterized by bands or cylinders of hyalinized or mucinous stroma separating
or surrounded by nests or cords of small epithelial cells. When the cylinders occur
within masses of epithelial cells, they give the tissue a perforated, sievelike, or
cribriform appearance. Such tumors occur in the mammary glands, the mucous glands
of the upper and lower respiratory tract, and the salivary glands. They are malignant
but slow-growing, and tend to spread locally via the nerves. (Dorland, 27th ed) [MeSH];
