Abstract

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy commonly associated with the salivary glands. However, it can also occur in various other locations, including the lung, where its diagnosis presents a significant challenge due to its resemblance to other lung tumors. This study focuses on ACC of the lung and its mimickers, aiming to address the diagnostic complexities encountered in differentiating this neoplasm from other lung pathologies. The study involves a comprehensive review of literature, case reports, and diagnostic imaging findings to highlight the distinctive characteristics of ACC and its similarities with other lung tumors. Diagnostic challenges, including radiological and histopathological features, are discussed, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate management for optimal patient outcomes.

Keywords:
