Post-thyroid FNA testing and treatment options: a synopsis of the National Cancer Institute Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration State of the Science Conference.

abstract：:Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) occurs not only as a tumor of salivary glands, but also in very unusual locations, such as in the skin. Only very few cases of primary cutaneous of ACC have metastasized to the lymph nodes and lungs. We present a 53-year-old man with metastasis of the pericardium from a primary cutaneous...
