Objective: To determine the association between inflammatory mast cells and various diseases of salivary glands.
 Material Methods: An experimental lab based descriptive study was done at institute pathology diagnostic medicine, Khyber medical university, Peshawar. Non probability, convenient sampling comprising n=71was tissue biopsies gland were collected from April, 2022 to Sept. 2022. G...

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a malignant epithelial tumour of glandular tissue, usually of the major salivary glands. However it can present in the minor salivary glands, especially in the soft palate. We report the case of a 72-year-old Malay female after presentation with sore throat, fever and odynophagia, was diagnosed with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the soft palate.

Introduction: Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CMEC) is a rare primary intraosseous bony lesion. The mandible is more commonly affected than the maxilla. CMEC is frequently misdiagnosed radiographically and clinically as a benign odontogenic tumor or cyst. Case Presentation: We present a rare case with a secondary malignant neoplasm. A male patient was initially diagnosed with B-cell non-Hodg...

Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CMEC) is a rare pathological entity with only few case reports in the literature. The present reported an uncommon occurrence of CMEC mimicking odontogenic lesion young patient. A 17-year-old female patient sought dental care due to slight swelling located posterior region mandible on left side. Radiographic exams revealed osteolytic defined limits relation pro...

background and aims. salivary gland tumors are rare and specific lesions. there are differences in the incidence and frequency of salivary tumors in both minor and major salivary glands in different countries. this study was carried out to determine the prevalence of major and minor salivary gland tumors in ahvaz in the south of iran. materials and methods. all the cases, recorded in imam khome...

Adenosquamous carcinoma is a rare distinct clinicopathological entity characterized histopathologically by components of both squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma [1]. This type of carcinoma is described in a variety of sites, including lung, pancreas, and uterine cervix, while the head and neck region is a relatively rare origin for this type of tumor [1]. The existence of adenosquamous ...

Carcinosarcomas of the lung are uncommon neoplasms and are presently categorized along with sarcomatoid carcinomas in the WHO 2004 classification. Morphological recognition of individual components in a surgical specimen is usually straightforward. The respiratory epithelium is also a rare site for salivary gland type tumors. A 72-year-old lady who was investigated for an episode of hemoptysis ...

We report on a patient who presented at our clinic with a growth of the right palate of twenty years duration. A biopsy of the area was performed and the lesion was diagnosed as low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC). Due to the size of the tumor, it was decided to begin treatment with radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy. Once the initial treatment was completed, the lesion was reevaluated ...

background and aims. various morphologies are seen in different salivary gland tumorsor within an individual tumor, and the lesions show divers biological behaviors. experimental results support the hypothesis that increased crkii proto-oncogene is associated with cytokine-induced tumor initiation and progression by altering cell motility signaling pathway. the aim of this study was to assess t...
