Abstract Parotid gland is a rare site of metastasis from gastrointestinal (GI) tract primary cancer. Here, we present an interesting case report parotid unknown with probable lower GI as cancer, normal colonoscopy and upper endoscopy. This highlights the importance immunohistochemistry in taking treatment decisions during dilemmatic situations.

MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 11 NPC patients (9 men and 2 women; 48.7 ± 11.7 years, 22 parotid glands) were...

Most pleural neoplasms are metastatic in origin. Primary tumours of the pleura are rare and categorized as diffuse or localized. Diffuse or malignant mesothelioma is more common, related to asbestos exposure, and associated with a poor prognosis. Localized or solitary fibrous tumour (SFT), of the pleura is a less common neoplasm of controversial histogenesis and is unrelated to asbestos exposur...

Oncocytic lipoadenoma is an exceedingly uncommon neoplasm of the salivary gland composed of oncocytic epithelium and adipose tissue. Retrospective. Seven cases of oncocytic lipoadenoma were analyzed in order to further characterize the clinical and pathologic features of this rare tumor. The patients included six males and one female who ranged from 40 to 83 years of age (mean 62 years) at pres...

sialography is the retrograde injection of an iodinated contrast agent into the ductal system of salivary glands and this technique is the only method capable of adequately demonstrating the status of the ductal system. one of the indications of sialography is classification of the salivary ductal system fistulae. this classification has important prognostic and therapeutic values. in the prese...

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common type of all salivary gland tumours. Although uncommon, cases of giant pleomorphic adenomas have been described in the medical literature, the majority involving the parotid gland. This paper describes an unusual case of a giant adenoma arising in the parotid gland. The patient underwent surgical resection of the giant tumour, which was one of the largest p...
