neoplasms that arise in the salivary glands are relatively rare, yet they represent a wide variety of both benign and malignant histologic subtypes. approximately 70% of the salivary gland tumors affect parotid gland with the submandibular gland being affected in 5-10% of the cases, sublingual gland in 1% and minor glands in 5-15% of the cases. submandibular gland tumors are relatively rare and...

Salivary gland involvement is one of the radioiodine therapy complications. Salivary gland scintigraphy in quantitative mode can accurately evaluate salivary gland function. Methods: Salivary gland scintigraphy was performed with Tc-99m Pertechnetate, at the time of iodine therapy as a basic study and then 3 weeks and 3 months afterwards. Ejection Fraction (EF) of parotid and submandibula...

The Ojców National Park is situated in southern Poland in an area of Jurassic limestone, which determines the hydrochemistry of the water in the River Pr dnik. The geochemical index of the sediment in the River Pr dnik indicated it is moderately polluted with Pb and Zn, and heavily polluted with Cd compared to unpolluted sediment. The effect of natural and anthropogenic sources on the sediment ...

background: salivary gland tumors are relatively uncommon and they consist of 3-10% of head and neck neoplasms. most of studies have shown geographic variation in the incidence and histopathologic types of salivary gland neoplasms. the aim of this study was to evaluate the salivary gland tumors in isfahan for 10 years duration. materials and methods: in this epidemiological study, 229 medical r...

background: few studies have shown the limitation of the world health organization (who)/ international council for the control of iodine defi ciency (iccidd)-adopted thyroid gland volume references as universal normative values for thyroid gland volume. so we decided to measure thyroid gland volume by sonography in schoolchildren in rasht, gilan province, iran — rasht is a metropolitan city on...

we report a 75 year - old man who presented with a cervical mass, dysphagia anil hoarseness, ct - xcan of neck showed a large cold nodule in the right lobe of thyroid gland, which was followed by surgical excision and its histopathologic exam revealed well-differentiated chondrosarcoma.
