Evin C, Just PA, Borghese B, Fabiano E, Bennani S, Canny E, Marisa L, Derive N, Laurent-Puig P, Alexandre J, Durdux C. Adenoid cystic carcinoma of Bartholin's gland, a case report with genomic data and literature review. Cancer Radiother 2023:S1278-3218(23)00008-2. [PMID: 36759241 DOI: 10.1016/j.canrad.2023.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2023]
Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland (ACCBG) is a rare, slowly but aggressive malignancy. We reported the case of a 31-year-old woman who was treated by local excision and then hemi-vulvectomy, with positive margins and perineural invasion. Radiation therapy (RT) was then performed delivering 45Gy in 25 fractions in bilateral inguinal lymph nodes and 64.8Gy in 36 fractions on the vulvar area. After 30 months, there was no local relapse (LR) but the patient presented a histologically documented lung recurrence. Genomic profiling of the tumor showed a MYB-NFIB fusion transcript and a somatic mutation of PLCG1. A treatment by Lenvatinib was started. We conducted a literature review of 100 published cases. Patients were mainly treated by radical vulvectomy (30%), hemi-vulvectomy (17%), wide or local excision (21% and 24%, respectively) or other. Forty-four percent of patients received postoperative RT, more frequently in case of positive margin (71.9% versus 29.5%). RT may reduce the risk of LR regardless of margin status, with 15.4% vs. 41.9% of LR with or without RT, respectively, in patients with negative margins, and 13% vs. 33.3% of LR with or without RT, respectively, in patients with positive margins. The risk of relapse of any type was 40.9% in patients who received adjuvant RT vs. 48.2% in patients who did not. Median time to relapse was 24 months (range 6-156 months). The most frequent metastatic sites were lung (76.7%) and bone (26.7%). Optimal treatment for ACCBG is still not clearly defined but pooling the data from published case report help us better understand this rare disease and help in the therapeutic decision.

Abstract
ABSTRACT We present the case of a 45-year-old woman with known adenoid cystic carcinoma of the right parotid gland, postexcision and postoperative radiation therapy. She was followed up on 18F-FDG PET/CT, which revealed minimal local residual disease and bilateral lung nodules, for which chemotherapy was initiated. Postchemotherapy, 18F-FDG PET/CT showed residual lung metastases. As a part of ongoing project, 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT done revealed additional focal uptake in the right cerebellum, missed on FDG PET/CT. The brain lesion was confirmed upon MRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Distant metastases from squamous cell cancer of the vulva (VSCC) are encountered rarely and are associated with a poor prognosis. Cerebral metastases have only been described anecdotally. CASE HISTORY A 51-year old woman was diagnosed with hepatic metastases due to VSCC. Initial therapy comprised wide local excision of the primary tumor with inguino-femoral lymphadenectomy (LAE) followed by stereotactic radiation of the singular hepatic metastasis while adjuvant chemoradiation of the vulva and lymphatics was declined. 3 years later, she subsequently developed lung and cerebral metastases. CONCLUSION The course of metastatic disease in VSCC is poorly understood. Further knowledge of the metastatic patterns in vulvar cancer is required for guidance of future therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin Gland (BG-ACC) is a rare form of vulval cancer with only approximately 350 reported cases since 1864. A review of available literature and case reports suggests an aggressive nature with protracted clinical symptoms and a tendency for local recurrence despite adequate surgical excision with or without adjuvant radiotherapy. Survival rates of 71% and 59% are reported at five and ten years. This case report endeavours to add to our body of knowledge regarding this rare disease and thus help broaden and improve our understanding of management and treatment success.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bartholin gland carcinoma is an extremely rare condition. Because of its, phase III trials have not been carried out, there exists no unanimous consensus on treatment and guidelines are missing. METHODS All studies reporting cases of Bartholin cancer were collected and screened for the evaluations. Baseline characteristics of studies were extracted and were queried in a database. RESULTS A total number of 133 manuscripts collected were available for the review process, representing a total number of 275 reported cases. The histological type of Bartholin gland cancer was specified in 90.4% cases: 30.7% cases were squamous cell carcinoma, 29.6% adenoid cystic carcinoma, 25% adenocarcinomas. At multivariate analysis adenocarcinoma histotype and positive lymph node were statistical correlated with worse prognosis. CONCLUSION Bartholin gland cancer remains a challenge for gynecologic oncologists. To better understand and treat this disease, centralization to referral centers and design of multi institutional trials is crucial.

Abstract
Introduction Adenoid cystic carcinoma of Bartholin’s gland is a very rare disease. Case presentation A 48-year-old premenopausal woman of Caucasian origin was delivered adjuvant pelvic and inguinal radiotherapy after prior complete left Bartholin’s gland tumor excision and inguinal lymph node dissection for adenoid cystic carcinoma of Bartholin’s gland with one metastatic inguinal lymph node. Two years after primary treatment, she presented to the Emergency Room with acute headache, hypoacousia, decrease in visual acuity, and a decrease in right leg muscle strength. A cranial magnetic resonance imaging scan demonstrated three cystic brain lesions with associated perifocal edema. Chest and abdomen computed tomography scans and a magnetic resonance imaging scan of the pelvis did not find any metastatic or residual disease elsewhere. A physical examination found no local recurrence. Stereotactic brain biopsies with pathology examination revealed the presence of adenoid cystic carcinoma metastasis. She thus received 30Gy of brain radiotherapy but, three months later, the brain lesions did not decrease in size and left mid lobular lung lesions appeared on her chest computed tomography scan. A mid left lobe lung excision was undertaken followed by chemotherapy consisting of six cycles of cyclophosphamide, adriamycin and cisplatin. Five months after beginning chemotherapy, the brain disease progressed and our patient died. Conclusion Our case report shows the difficulty in managing brain and lung metastasis of Bartholin’s gland adenoid cystic carcinoma as no consensus on the optimal treatment exists.

Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a relatively uncommon malignancy that most frequently arises in the salivary glands. In the genital tract, approximately 60 cases of ACC that originated from Bartholin glands have been reported to date. In this report, we describe a case of ACC that arose from Skene glands, a very rare origin for this disease. In this patient, the disease had an indolent clinical course, with few symptoms other than localized pain. During the surgical operation, the tumor was found to have invaded more extensively than had been estimated preoperatively, and it required pelvic exenteration with radical vulvectomy. Although the precise preoperative assessment and the preparation for an extended operation are difficult, they are necessary for the successful treatment of this rare disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland accounts for a minority of all Bartholin's gland malignancies. Although local recurrences commonly occur distant metastasis is rare. CASE REPORT We present the first reported case of Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland with metastasis to the liver. DISCUSSION There is no consensus on the treatment of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland. Wide local excision and/or vulvectomy and radiotherapy are advocated for treatment of this cancer. There is not much data on treatment of metastasis and it varies according to site.

Abstract
Abstract
Vulvar carcinoma is the fourth most frequently encountered malignancy of the female reproductive tract. Among vulvar neoplasms, 0.1% to 5% are of Bartholin gland origin. Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin gland is very rare. To date, only about 60 cases have been reported in the world literature. Microscopic examination reveals a neoplasm of cribriform pattern composed of nests and columns of cells of bland appearance arranged concentrically around glandlike spaces filled with eosinophilic periodic acid-Schiff–positive diastase-resistant material. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells express low-molecular-weight keratins, carcinoembryonic antigen, lysozyme, α1-antichymotrypsin, S100, and type IV collagen. Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin gland is a slow-growing but locally very aggressive neoplasm with high capacity for recurrence. Perineural and lymphatic invasion is characteristic of this tumor and may explain its propensity for causing pain and recurrence. The treatment may range from simple local excision to radical vulvectomy, with or without partial to complete regional lymphadenectomy.
