Histogenesis of Fetal Parotid Gland
نویسندگان
چکیده
An analysis of the normal salivary gland structure permits a morphogenetic approach to an understanding of the variability in histologic types of salivary gland tumors. In the present study parotid gland specimens were collected from 25 aborted fetuses (8 male and 17 female) which were fixed in formalin. The fetuses were between 10weeks to 40 weeks of gestational age. The dissected specimens were preserved in 10% formalin and subjected to routine histological procedure for age related histogenesis and developmental anatomy. In present study we observed that major histogenesis occurred during the mid trimester that is around 24 wks of gestation. And at 40 wks of gestation acini are approaching adult appearance.

ECENT ADVANCES in histochemical techR niques have stimulated interest in the inicroscopic differentiation of various mucopolysaccharides. Following a previous studyLo on the analysis of mucoid substances in normal tissue, the present paper deals with the application of some of the newer methods to the examination of pathological material. For this purpose, three types of niucus-contaiiiing tumo...
متن کاملUltrastructural studies on the development of human fetal salivary glands.
Parotid and submandibular glands in human fetuses at 16, 18 and 24 weeks of gestation were studied by electron microscopy. The salivary glands of the 16 week fetus were composed of primary ducts and terminal buds. The primary duct was double layered and consisted of inner glycogen-rich ductal cells and outer myoepithelial precursor cells. The terminal bud was a cell cluster which consisted of g...

Background: Primary sebaceous carcinoma of the parotid gland is extremely rare, and because of its rarity, clinicopathological characteristics and histogenesis are not fully understood. Methods: Here, we report a patient who presented with a left infra-auricular painless mass. We present the histological features and discuss possible optimal treatments based on previous literature.
