Centrally occurring salivary gland tumors are rare. Because of a considerable overlap between the clinical and histopathological features, this group of tumors often produces a diagnostic difficulty to the clinicians and oral pathologists. Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is an unusual, low-grade, malignant salivary gland tumor that represents approximately 2% of the salivary gland tumors with almos...

stafne bone cavities (sbcs) are uncommon well‑demarcated defects of the mandible, which often occur in the posterior portion of the jaw bone and are usually asymptomatic. furthermore, sbc is found in men aged 50–70‑year‑old. anterior mandibular variants of sbc are very rare. this article describes a case of anterior sbc in a 45‑year‑old man that resembled endodontic periapical lesions. upon his...

INTRODUCTION Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas are the most common lymphomas of the salivary glands. The benign lymphoepithelial lesion is also a lymphoproliferative disease that develops in the parotid gland. In the present case report, we describe one case of benign lymphoepithelial lesion with a subsequent low transformation to grade mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma appea...

Extensive visceral lesions containing intranuclear inclusions have been produced in mice by intraperitoneal and intracerebral inoculations of the homologous salivary gland virus. Rarely small pancreatic lesions containing inclusions have been encountered 2 weeks after subcutaneous inoculation. Many of the animals injected intraperitoneally died between the 4th and 7th day after inoculation. In ...

Pathologies developing on the floor of mouth create difficulty for patient and pose a challenge to oral physicians both clinically surgically as this area manifests numerous vital structures. While diagnosing, an accurate differential diagnosis should be established rule out other lesions that usually occur such ranula, lipoma, salivary gland tumours, dermoid cyst, vascular lesions. Cystic from...

Lymphocyte heterogeneity was studied in peripheral blood and salivary gland lesions in 24 patients with Sjögren's syndrome. Peripheral blood B cells, measured by immunofluorescence with specific antiserum to immunoglobulins or by rosette assay with complementcoated erythrocytes, were increased in most patients. Peripheral blood T cells, measured by immunofluorescence with rabbit antiserum to hu...

by increasing number of vessels. Salivary gland tumors are uncommon and their overall incidence is about 3 per 100000 per year. Salivary gland hemangioma makes up 1 % of all salivary gland tumors. Trismus resulting from parotid hemangioma is so rare. The patient was a 6-month-old boy with a huge lesion in his right parotid who referred to Shahid sadoughi hospital of Yazd, Iran. The lesion appea...

Introduction: Salivary gland Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology is a well-established pre-operative diagnostic tool done routinely worldwide. Heterogeneity of salivary lesions makes cytology diagnosis challenging for most cytopathologists. Milan system reporting six tier developed to minimize inter-observer variability, thus enhance reproducibility cyto-diagnosis.
 Aims: To study utility Syst...
