Q. what is the most accurate pathological test to identify the primary source of a cystic mass in the neck? the mass was removed. Pathologist was unable to identify the source and diagnosed the mass as a branchilogic carcinmoa (which is extremely rare, if exists at all). Therefore, I am looking for the most updated test and examinations that can be applied to blocks of the mass and determine their origin (primary source) A. Pathologic examinaions under a microscope are the most accurate ones there are, and sometimes even they don't help to identify the cell types.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a slowly growing infiltrative salivary gland-type neoplasm that is rare in the tracheobronchial tree. Pleomorphic adenoma of the trachea, like adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma, has a less aggressive clinical course than does squamous cell carcinoma. Periprostatic cystic lesions may be infectious or congenital, or they may result from prostatic retention, parasitic (hydatid) cyst, benign prostatic hyperplasia, cystic carcinoma of the prostate, (1) bone cysts or a variety of benign and malignant tumors. |
