Sclerosing Polycystic Adenosis of the Retromolar Pad Area: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sclerosing polycystic adenosis is a rare pathological lesion that affects salivary glands. The majority of cases involve the parotid and its occurrence in minor glands is exceedingly rare. Here, we report the first case of this lesion in the retromolar pad area and discuss its histological features and immunohistochemical reactivity with α SMA and Ki67 markers. A review of the literature on its immunohistochemical profile is also provided. Sclerosing polycystic adenosis has a diverse histomorphology and should be differentiated from other more important pathologic lesions.

Sclerosing polycystic adenosis (SPA) is a rare, newly-reported lesion of the salivary glands. Most cases occurred within mayor salivary glands and were frequently confused with other salivary gland carcinomas such as acinar cell carcinoma. We report a case of SPA within the submandibular gland in a 63-year-old woman.

Sclerosing polycystic adenosis of the major salivary glands is rare and can simulate a slow growing tumour. It is pseudoencapsulated and includes tubuloacinar adenosis with dilated ducts, apocrine metaplasia, epithelial hyperplasia, and cystic changes associated with fibrosis. The histological appearance of the lesion is similar to that of fibrocystic disease of the breast. The multifocal natur...

Sclerosing Polycystic Adenosis (SPA) is a rare disease of the salivary glands, first described by Smith et al. in 1996, with histomorphological aspects similar to those from breast fibrocystic disorders1. Its pathogenesis is still unclear; however, it is considered a pseudo-neoplastic or reactive process. Recently, Skálová et al. showed clonality in six SPA cases. SPA affects mainly the parotid...

Sclerosing polycystic adenosis (SPA) is a rare tumor-like lesion of the salivary gland that bears a histomorphological resemblance to fibrocystic disease and sclerosing adenosis of the breast. The lesion is widely considered to be a pseudoneoplastic inflammatory process. However, foci of epithelial dysplasia and carcinoma in situ can occur in the lesion. We report a case of 16-year-old Thai fem...
