82 CASES OF SALIVARY GLAND TUMORS

A Review of Signet Ring cells in Salivary Gland Tumors

Objectives: Signet Ring Cells (SRCs) are often seen in gastrointestinal, breast, bile duct and lung invasive carcinomas. Observing these cells in benign and malignant lesions of the salivary glands is not common. Signet-ring cell adenocarcinoma is rare and is commonly seen in the secondary salivary glands. Although, the presence of SRCs in other neoplasms of the body is usually associated with ...

Minor salivary gland tumors: A clinicopathological study of 18 cases.

INTRODUCTION Minor salivary gland tumors (MSGTs) are infrequent, representing 10-15% of all salivary neoplasms. Despite this low frequency, MSGTs conform a heterogeneous group of neoplasms characterized by a broad range of histological types. PATIENTS AND METHOD We identified cases of MSGT in a retrospective study of the biopsies made in the period 1997-2007 in the Service of Oral Surgery (De...

Salivary Gland Tumors in Rare Sites Report of Two Cases *

Presumably benign neoplastic growths presenting structures characteristic of salivary gland tumors have been observed recently in sites quite unusual for such tumors. In one case the growth was attached to the right side of the bridge of the nose, in the other it arose in the left side of the hard palate. The presentation here is restricted to a brief account of the pertinent data on both of th...

Malignant salivary gland tumors

Salivary gland neoplasms are a heterogeneous and important group of tumors of the Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. They comprise from 2 to 3% of all the salivary gland lesions and tumors1,2 because their heterogeneity, since several years, different classifications based in clinical or microscopic criteria had been appeared.3-7 The most recent and most widely used is that proposed by Seifert e...
