epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma is a rare biphasic low grade neoplasm of salivary glands; it most commonly occurs in the parotid gland but can also arise in minor salivary glands. here a case of 58-year-old female presented with left cheek swelling of one-year duration. ct scan revealed a localized submandibular salivary gland tumor mass not involving surrounding tissues. histological examin...

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 surf...

INTRODUCTION Identifying malignancy either preoperatively or intraoperatively can have a significant impact on the management of salivary gland tumours. We review our experience with fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and frozen section (FS) for salivary gland lesions. We analyse the accuracy of both modalities and their influence on management. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective review ...

Lupus erythematosus (LE) can cause various cutaneous lesions including panniculitis (LE profundus), but salivary gland involvement has been extremely rare in patients with LE. Herein, we report the first documented case of systemic LE with prominent mucoid degeneration and lymphoplasmacytic infiltration in the parotid gland. A 38-year-old Japanese male with histories of autoimmune hemolytic ane...

BACKGROUND The incidence of salivary gland tumors is claimed to be influenced by geographical and racial factors. The pathological classification and nomenclature of salivary gland tumors as defined by WHO classification (1991), is accepted world-wide but little is available in the literature regarding the spectrum of salivary gland tumors in Africa in the basis of this classification. Such eff...

Salivary gland choriostoma is defined as a tumor-like growth of otherwise normal salivary gland found in an abnormal location. It has been reported in the head and neck regions but there are very few reports of its presence in the gastrointestinal tract [1,2]. To our knowledge, it has been reported in the jejunal [3], sigmoid colon [4], rectal [5,6], and perianal regions [7], but there is no re...

introduction: salivary gland tumors (sgts) are important parts of human neoplasms. the most common sgt is pleomorphic adenoma and the most common malignant sgts are mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma (acc). metastasis-associated genes 1 (mta1), a member of the nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylation complex, is one newly discovered gene which recruits histone deacetyl...

Salivary gland neoplasms are a rare group of tumors; the annual incidence rate is 1 in 100,000 individual, comprising about 3% of all head and neck neoplasms [4]. The mean age of patients with salivary gland tumors is 45 years, peaking in the sixth and seventh decades of life. Benign salivary gland tumors occur more frequently in females, while malignant tumors are slightly more frequent in mal...

The diagnosis and management of masses of the neck require strict attention to obtaining a history and performing a physical examination so as to establish a differential diagnosis for the mass under consideration. The development of a differential diagnosis of a neck mass frequently includes neoplastic and nonneoplastic salivary lesions that are considered as a function of the age of the patie...

Background. FNAC is a useful method for evaluating suspicious salivary glands lesions due to its low cost, minimum morbidity, rapid turnaround time, high specificity, and sensitivity. Aim. To know the frequency of the salivary gland lesions and cytohistological correlation in the Jhansi region, Uttar Pradesh, India. Material and Methods. In present study 124 cases were included and cytohistolog...
