introduction: pleomorphic adenoma is a rare benign salivary gland neoplasm in children, which can be treated by simple excision. this tumor is rarely included in the differential diagnosis of solid submandibular masses in children. in the neonates, congenital pleomorphic adenoma usually presents in the nasopharynx. surgical excision is the treatment of choice and recurrence is not expected. we ...

Salivary glands are exocrine that secrete saliva, which plays an important role in the maintenance of oral health. Few reports exist on contralateral salivary gland is not directly affected when one by sialolithiasis, radiation therapy, or a tumor. In present study, we investigated changes submandibular mice following excision unilateral gland. Outcomes this study showed and sublingual resectio...

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary gland tumor. also known as benign mixed Most commonly affected site parotid gland. It may occur in other major glands (submandibular and sublingual glands), lacrimal minor glands. arises a painless, firm swelling, slowly growing oral cavity. triphasic tumor that occurs epithelial, myoepithelial, chondromyxoid stroma. Complete surgical resection wi...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To compare surgical outcomes after intraoral removal of proximal submandibular stones versus traditional submandibular gland (SMG) resection. STUDY DESIGN : A prospective randomized study. METHODS Forty-four consecutive patients were diagnosed with proximal submandibular stones in the hilum of the submandibular gland by ultrasonography or computed tomography. All of th...

Cannabinoid receptors (CBRs) belong to the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily, and activation of CBRs in salivary cells inhibits agonist-stimulated salivation and modifies saliva content. However, the role of different CBR subtypes in acinar cell physiology and in intracellular signalling remains unclear. Here, we uncover functional CB(1)Rs and CB(2)Rs in acinar cells of rat submandibular g...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to present our evaluation of the feasibility of using a retroauricular approach for excision of benign upper neck mass lesions without assistance of an endoscopic or robotic system. METHODS We enrolled 23 patients with benign neck mass lesions of the parotid gland, submandibular gland, and the level II/III region who underwent surgery via a retroauricu...

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...
