P1.08-029 - Surgical Experience of Primary Salivary Gland Tumors of Lung: Experience from Tertiary Care Cancer Center in North India (ID 4992)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): M. Ray
- Abstract
Background:
Primary salivary gland type tumors of lung (PSGTTL) are rare intra-thoracic malignant neoplasm. Their description in literature is largely limited to a few case series/case reports. We herewith present our surgical experience and review its clinical presentation, management options and survival outcomes.
Methods:
We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained computerized data-base of lung cancer patients at department of surgical oncology, Dr BRA-IRCH, AIIMS, Delhi. A total of nine patients underwent treatment for PSGTTL during the period from January 2012 to December 2015. Details concerning the clinical presentation, preoperative therapy, operative procedure, histopathological examination, postoperative complications and outcome were retrieved and analysed.
Results:
Median age of patients was 42 years (range 24-52 years) with male: female ratio of 7:2. Median duration of symptoms before presentation was 12 months (range 4-24 months). Most common symptoms were Hemoptysis (77%) and dyspnoea (66%). Fiber-optic bronchoscopy revealed endobronchial growth in all patients with six patients had growth in left main bronchus while one had growth in right main bronchus and two in right intermediate bronchus. Biopsy confirmed adenoid cystic carcinoma in 6 (66%) and muco-epidermoid carcinoma in 3 (33%) patients. Total seven patients underwent R‘0’ resection with pneumonectomy in five, bilobectomy in one, lower lobectomy in one patient. One patient developed pneumonia after left carinal pneumonectomy and succumbed to it. No major postoperative complication was encountered in remaining six patients. One patient refused surgery and one found unresectable in view of dense adhesions between lung and heart. Both patient received chemo-radiation and underwent bronchoscopic debulking and are in follow up. Median pathological tumor size was 3 cm. Median number of node harvested was 10 (range 4-18) however none showed metastasis. None of the operated patient developed relapse and overall eight patients are alive after a median follow up of 18 months.
Conclusion:
Primary salivary gland type tumors of lung (PSGTTL) are low grade malignancy and greater awareness of these tumors is necessary to avoid misdiagnosis and delay in treatment. Aggressive anatomical lung resection with preservation of functional lung parenchyma offers optimal outcome in such patients.
