Ploidy studies of pleomorphic adenomas and minor salivary gland carcinomas of the palate.

چکیده
Ploidy studies of tumors are a diagnostic and prognostic aid. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the DNA content of palate aggressive pleomorphic adenomas (PA) and adenocarcinomas of the salivary glands. Twelve cases of salivary gland tumors of the palate were selected from the archives of the Oral Pathology Department, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Buenos Aires (1966-2001). Six cases corresponded to aggressive pleomorphic adenomas (PA) and the remaining six to adenocarcinomas (AD). Myxoid and epithelial areas of PA were evaluated. The epithelial areas of the most aggressive cases of PA exhibited a high DNA content. The myxoid areas of same cases of PA had a 2C ploidy level. The difference in ploidy values between the myxoid and epithelial areas of PA would suggest the presence of different cell populations. DNA content and the detection of aneuploidy would be prognostic aids in palate salivary gland carcinomas.

OBJECTIVES Pleomorphic adenomas are the most frequent type of epithelial salivary gland neoplasms, and their malignant counterpart, the carcinoma in pleomorphic adenomas, is much less common. Beta-catenin is a cell adhesion molecule associated with the invasion and metastasis of carcinomas of the head and neck, esophagus. The objective of this study was to detect the expression of beta-catenin ...

Background: In cancers of prostate, breast, oropharynx, lung, hypopharynx and skin, human tissue kallikreins has been demonstrated as a main role in these problems. There are many research works in which some human tissue kallikreins are expressed in salivary glands. In the present study, the main goal was to determine expression of human tissue kallikreins 4, 8, 10, 11 and 13 ...

INTRODUCTION Minor salivary gland neoplasms of epithelial origin are rare in children and adolescents and most are not well documented, except for a few small series and case reports. This study represents a retrospective clinical analysis of nine cases of benign epithelial salivary gland neoplasms accessioned over a 35-year period at the Louisiana State University School of Dentistry and combi...

Introduction: Pleomorphic adenomas are benign neoplasms of salivary glands. The simultaneous homolateral occurrence of these tumors in salivary glands is exceedingly rare. Case Report: An adult female presenting to our OPD with the swelling of right-sided preauricular and submandibular regions was diagnosed with the pleomorphic adenoma based on fine needle aspiration c...
