While adenoid cystic carcinoma is not an uncommon tumor in the salivary glands, its occurrence in the larynx and trachea is rare. Extension of an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the larynx and trachea to the thyroid with manifestation as a thyroid nodule is extremely rare. However, this possibility always should be considered whenever there are cytologic features suggestive of adenoid cystic carcinoma in thyroid aspirates and when there is a history of adenoid cystic carcinoma in the trachea or larynx or in any part of the body.
虽然腺样囊性癌在唾液腺中并非罕见肿瘤，但其在喉和气管中的发生却很罕见。喉和气管的腺样囊性癌扩展至甲状腺并表现为甲状腺结节极为罕见。然而，当甲状腺细针穿刺抽吸物中有提示腺样囊性癌的细胞学特征，且有气管、喉或身体任何部位的腺样囊性癌病史时，始终应考虑到这种可能性。
