Histogenetic and Morphogenetic Concepts of Salivary Gland Neoplasms

چکیده
Salivary gland neoplasms have always been an field of interest for head neck and tumors because of its diversity in histogenesis and morphogenesis. Its of keen interest that all benign tumors arise from major salivary glands whereas on the other side all malignant arise from minor salivary glands. Reason for the above criteria can be understood only when a complete knowledge and understanding of the histogenesis of these tumors are known, so this paper emphasize on its histogenesis and morphogenesis of salivary gland tumors.

Salivary gland tumors accounts for less than 1% of all tumors. Minor salivary gland tumors (MSGTs) are uncommon and make up about 10% of all salivary gland neoplasms. The clinical and histopathological distribution of these tumors vary geographically. A case of a 38 yr old man with a minor salivary gland mass at chin region isreported here. The tumor invaded into the anterior ...

Background and objective: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of salivary gland lesions is an accepted and useful diagnostic tool to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions. Majority of the neoplasms are benign, and specific diagnosis on cytology can be made in most of the cases. However, the utility is limited by the overlapping and heterogeneous morphol...

Introduction: Pleomorphic adenomas are benign neoplasms of salivary glands. The simultaneous homolateral occurrence of these tumors in salivary glands is exceedingly rare.

متن کاملCentral Acinic Cell Carcinoma of the Mandible Simulating as Benign Odontogenic Lesion: A Case Report
Centrally occurring salivary gland tumors are rare. Because of a considerable overlap between the clinical and histopathological features, this group of tumors often produces a diagnostic difficulty to the clinicians and oral pathologists. Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is an unusual, low-grade, malignant salivary gland tumor that represents approximately 2% of the salivary gland tumors with almos...
