We present an unusual case of uterine cancer metastasizing to the adrenal glands with a review of the English literature on the management of this rare disease. CASE SUMMARY A 53-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of endometrial cancer (grade 2;International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics III A) was hospitalized in November 2017 for a left adrenal mass found on a follow-up computed tomography scan 3 years after her gynecological surgery. Laboratory test results were normal. A laparoscopic left adrenalectomy was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and no chemotherapy was administered. The pathological report confirmed an adrenal endometrioid metastasis. At 36 mo of follow-up, the patient is alive and well, with no evidence of recurrent disease. A literature review identified only 11 previously-published cases of adrenal metastases from uterine cancer. CONCLUSION Adrenal metastasis from uterine cancer is very rare. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy may be an effective treatment in selected cases of localized adrenal metastasis.展开更多

They have features with complicated histopathologic classification and wide distribution. There is little knowledge on the clinicopathologic characterics and clinical behaviors of salivary gland tumors of various locations and subtype. The management of salivary gland tumors is also contraversial. Biopsy is not suggested because of seeding of tumor cells. Therefore adjunctive methods are important for preoperative diagnosis. Since 1985, our research group has performed a series of basic and clinical researches on salivary gland tumors including clinicopathologic characteristis and behavior, preoperative adjunctive diagnosis, mechanism, prevention and treatment of distant metastasis of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma, and histogenesis of salivary gland tumor. These studies have improved our knowledge on the clinical, histopathological, cytological, imaging features, and biobehavior of different types of slivary gland tumors. We have also suggested related principles of management, modified the operative methods of benign tumor of parotid gland. Our efforts have raised the standards of diagnosis and treatment of salivary gland tumors.展开更多
