KAKIZAKI, G., NOTO, N., ONUMA, T., SAITO, T. and Izuan, S. Experimental Study on the Correlation between the Pancreas and Parotid Gland. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1971, 105 (3), 223-231 -Comparative histologic examination and measurement of amylase values in pancreas and parotid gland were made on thirteen rats of the control group and eight rats with experimentally produced acute pancreatitis. Hist...

Computed tomographic (CT) appearances of 18 surgically proven parotid tumors were studied. Digital radiography (GE, ScoutView) was performed to select the desired gantry angulations and then plain CT and CT combined with sialography were performed. Plain CT clearly showed parotid tumors in nine of the patients. CT combined with sialography was more helpful than plain CT for delineating the tumo...

BACKGROUND: Solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the parotid gland is a rare condition. Intracytoplasmic Crystalline inclusions in the tumor are even rarer and have been reported only once in the parotid gland. CASE PRESENTATION: We report here, a case of plasmacytoma of the parotid gland with intracellular crystalline inclusions in a 73-year-old woman CONCLUSION: Solitary extramedullary pla...

INTRODUCTION Atheroma of the facial artery is an extremely rare disease. CLINICAL FINDINGS/PATIENT CONCERNS Herein, we report an extremely rare case of an atheroma arising from the facial artery, mimicking a parotid gland tumor. DIAGNOSES The preoperative diagnosis was a right-sided parotid gland tumor. INTERVENTIONS We performed removal of the right parotid gland tumor, via a modified fa...

Tuberculosis of the parotid gland is an uncommon disease. In this study, we present primary parotid tuberculosis in two siblings. Two female siblings, of 16 and 14 years of age, presented with unilateral masses in the parotid region. Acid-fast bacilli were found in the aspiration fluid of the lesion. After the tuberculosis treatment, the patients were doing well. In this study, we discussed cli...

PURPOSE To review the CT and MR characteristics of temporal bone malignancy, and to evaluate the relationship between malignancies of the temporal bone and parotid gland. METHODS A group of 15 surgical patients with diagnosis of temporal bone malignancy were retrospectively reviewed. These included 11 cases of primary temporal bone malignancy and four cases of secondary carcinoma of the tempo...

A parotid gland hormone that stimulates intradentinal fluid movement is believed to play a significant role in maintaining the vitality of dentin. This hormone has been purified from porcine parotid glands and partially sequenced in our previous study (Tieche, J. M., Leonora, J., and Steinman, R. R. (1980) Endocrinology 106, 1994-2005). We now report the cloning and functional study of porcine ...

Lipoma is the most common benign tumour which occurs anywhere in the body where adipose tissue is present which is asymptomatic, slow growing and painless. The lipoma consists of mature adipose tissue and occurs commonly in region of back, shoulder and nape of neck. Adipose tissue also exists in the parotid gland, but lipoma of the parotid gland is rare entity. The incidence of this entity has ...
