Salivary gland tumors are uncommon and constitute a highly heterogeneous histopathological group of neoplasms. The present study aims to determine the correlation between cytological findings parotid tumors, preservation facial posterior branch greater auricular nerve during surgery. A 21 cases was conducted at our hospital- GMERS Medical College Civil Hospital, Valsad. All them were clinically...

objective(s): to review the findings of the patients with sjögren’s syndrome (ss) having technetium-99m-pertechnetate (99mtc-pertechnetate) and gallium-67 citrate (ga-67) salivary gland scintigraphy in the past eight years.methods: the patients with ss, who were referred to our department for salivary gland scintigraphy during january 2008-december 2015 were studied using both 99mtc-pertechneta...

Sebaceous adenomas of the major salivary glands are uncommon tumors. Although sebaceous differentiation within the major salivary glands is a frequent histopathologic finding (approximately 20% to 42% of parotid glands), sebaceous neoplasms of salivary gland origin are not. A number of publications review the clinical and histologic features of sebaceous neoplasms, however, these reports focus ...

background: superficial mucocele presents as small, clear vesicle on noninflamed mucosa. in this study, we report several vesicles on the bucal mucosa of a woman diagnosed as superficial mucocele.case presentation: a 48-year old woman presented with multiple vesicles on her labial mucosa, ventral surface of the tongue, floor of the mouth and palate. a mucosal biopsy was taken from the vesicle. ...

epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma is a rare biphasic low grade neoplasm of salivary glands; it most commonly occurs in the parotid gland but can also arise in minor salivary glands. here a case of 58-year-old female presented with left cheek swelling of one-year duration. ct scan revealed a localized submandibular salivary gland tumor mass not involving surrounding tissues. histological examin...

Introduction: The parotid gland is the most common site for salivary gland tumors. 70-80% of salivary gland neoplasms occur in the parotid gland, of which 80% are benign, 20% are malignant of which 80% of the benign tumors are pleomorphic adenomas. Aims and Objectives: (1) To know the incidence of parotid gland tumors with respect to age and sex. (2) To study the various modes of clinical prese...

Salivary gland neoplasms (SGN) remain a diagnostic dilemma due to their heterogenic complex behavior. Their diverse histomorphological appearance is attributed the underlying cellular mechanisms and differentiation into various histopathological subtypes with overlapping fea-tures. Diagnostic tools such as fine needle aspiration biopsy, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, posit...

INTRODUCTION Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is a low-grade malignant salivary gland neoplasm with a biphasic cell population that encompasses around 1% of all salivary neoplasms. METHOD We present different cases of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma, with special emphasis on histopathology, differential diagnosis, relevant prognostic factors and follow-up. RESULT This study included 8 ...

BACKGROUND Salivary ductal carcinoma (SDC) of parotid gland is a rare and aggressive entity; accounting for 1-3 % of all malignant salivary gland tumors, 0.2 % of epithelial salivary gland neoplasms, 0.5 % of salivary gland carcinomas, and 1.1 % of parotid gland carcinomas. Here in we aimed to evaluate the clinico-pathological features and treatment outcomes of parotid gland SDC in Saudi popula...
