A 67-year-old male with three synchronous tumors in the unilateral parotid gland is reported. Postoperative histological examinations confirmed the presence of three synchronous primary tumors, specifically pleomorphic adenoma, Warthin's tumor and salivary duct carcinoma, in the right parotid gland. To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing three different histological types in...

Basaloid tumors of the salivary gland are among the most diagnostically challenging areas of salivary gland FNA cytopathology. The primary tumors included in this group are basal cell adenoma, basal cell adenocarcinoma, and the solid variant of adenoid cystic carcinoma. In addition, various other salivary gland tumors, such as cellular pleomorphic adenoma, can also exhibit basaloid features and...

Introduction: In this study the automatic separation of oral and salivary gland activity and spontaneous secretion by means of factor analysis for quantitative salivary gland scintigraphy is introduced. Methods: After intravenous administration of 99mTc sodium pertechnetate, dynamic scintigraphy was performed. 20 minutes after tracer application 2 ml of lemon juice was delivered to stimulate t...

introduction: mucoepidermoid carcinoma represents one of the most common malignant salivary gland tumors.however, the sclerosing morphologic variant is extremely rare with only 23 reported cases in the english-language literature since it was discovered in 1987. case report: herein, we describe another case that was diagnosed in a 25-year-old woman presenting with a posterior auricular mass, as...

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 ...

A case of adenocystic carcinoma of the salivary gland arising in the hard palate metastatic to the choroid is presented. The histopathology of the tumour is discussed.

Lymph node density (LND) has been reported to be a significant predictor of survival in patients with oral and other carcinomas exhibiting positive lymph nodes. The present study investigated whether the LND is associated with overall survival in subjects with major salivary gland carcinoma. A total of 78 patients newly diagnosed with major salivary gland carcinoma underwent primary tumor resec...

Accidental discovery of androgen receptor (AR) expression in high-grade salivary gland cancer led to evaluation of that finding. In this study we evaluated the immunohistochemical expression of AR in a series of 37 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded malignant salivary gland tumors using two commercially available antibodies. Nuclear immunoreactivity for AR was demonstrated in 3 of 4 salivary duc...

introduction:  the use of radioactive iodine (131i) has become an important adjunct to the treatment of thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism. salivary gland has the ability to concentrate radioactive iodine under normal circumstances. salivary gland dysfunction and dry mouth are the common side effectsof high-dose radioiodine therapy. the purposeof this study was to determine the absorbed dose of...
