introduction: solitary fibrous tumor is a rare, mesenchymal neoplasm that has been reported in numerous sites. occurrence in the parotid gland is exceedingly rare.   case report: a 53-year-old man with a 2 cm solitary fibrous tumor of the left parotid gland, that was observed clinically and operatively and thought to be a neoplasm arising from stensen's duct, is described. a pre-operative ...

background: amiodarone is a drug that is used for treatment of cardiac arrhythmia after cardiac ischemia. this drug as b blocker decreases arrhythmia rate but it has many side effects on different tissues. since there are rare reports about changes of lacrimal glands, this research has been carried out to study the morphological and ultrastructural changes of lacrimal gland cells after amiodaro...

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...

The aim of this study was to investigate the radioprotective effect of thymol as a natural product against salivary glands dysfunction induced by ionizing radiation in rats. The rats were treated with thymol at dose of 50 mg/Kg before exposure to radiation at dose 15Gy. Salivary gland function was evaluated with radioisotope scintigraphy and then salivary gland to background counts ratio was ca...

abstract: primary adenoid cystic carcinoma (acc) of bartholin’s gland is a rare gynecologic malignancy. we report a case of locally advanced acc of bartholin’s gland. a 62-year-old presented with left bartholin’s gland carcinoma and underwent left radical vulvectomy,left-sided inguinal-femoral lymph node dissection, posterior pelvic exenteration, and pedicle abdominal muscle flap. on her 3 mont...

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...

Echinococcosis is a tissue infection of the human caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus or E. multilocularis. Hydatid cyst of the head and neck region is uncommon and involvement of the salivary glands, especially the submandibular gland, is very rare. In this article, a case of submandibular gland hydatid cyst is reported in a patient who presented with swelling of this are...

A large amount of accurate river cross-section data is indispensable for predicting river stages. However, the measured river cross-section data are usually sparse in the transverse direction at each cross-section as well as in the longitudinal direction along the river channel. This study presents three algorithms to resample the river cross-section data points in both the transverse and longi...
