Lung carcinomas of the salivary gland type (SGTTL´s: Salivary Gland–Type Tumoursare also known as salivary gland–type tumours of the Lunglung (SGTTLs) are thought to account for 1-2% of all lung carcinomas
The usual consignation to the group of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) may be unfortunate because the clinical behavior of SGTTLs can be quite different from that of conventional lung cancers 5.
Epidemiology
SGTTLs are thought to account for 0.1-2% of all lung carcinomas.
Pathology
These tumours occur primarily in central airways and are thought to originate from submucosal glands. They include 5:
-
mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the lung
-: most common type -
adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of lung
- second: second most common type - acinic cell carcinoma of the lung (Fechner tumour)
-
epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of lung
, one: one of the most unusual primary tumors of the lung
Only a few cases of the latter two lesions have been reported in the literature.
