introduction: sialadenoma papilliferum (sp) is a rare benign tumor, which originates from the minor salivary gland. it occurs at sites that have minor salivary glands, such as the palate, retromolar pads, buccal mucosa, and lips. the most common location for tumor development is on the hard palate. a differential diagnosis consists of ruling out other salivary gland tumors. transoral robotic su...

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...

Acinic cell adenocarcinoma (ACC) is a low-grade malignant salivary neoplasm that constitutes approximately 17% of all primary salivary gland malignancies. In the head and neck region, the parotid gland is the predominant site of origin and ACC is usually more frequent in women than men. Previous radiation exposure and familial predisposition are some of the risk factors for ACC. ACCs rarely inv...

Dear Editor, Salivary duct carcinomas (SDC) are primarily high-grade, aggressive malignancies that affect men in the fi fth and sixth decades of life. These tumours are primarily found in the major salivary glands, especially parotid and are rarely from minor salivary glands. If it involves the minor salivary gland, the most common reported sites include the paranasal sinuses and intraoral cavi...

Myoepithelioma is a rare neoplasm of the salivary glands, generally occurring in the parotid gland and less often in the minor accessory salivary gland of the oral cavity. The histological appearance includes solid, myxoid and reticular growth patterns. Vimentin and S-100 protein are very sensitive but non-specific immunohistochemical markers of neoplastic myoepithelium. Conservative surgery is...

myoepithelioma is a rare neoplasm of the salivary glands, generally occurring in the parotid gland and less often in the minor accessory salivary glands of the oral cavity. it is known to be a rare entity occurring at unusual locations, which makes it difficult to diagnose. such a rare case of myoepithelioma in salivary glands present at an unusual location around the left orbit is presented here.

Sialolipoma is a recently described histologic variant of lipoma and is characterized by well-demarcated proliferation of mature adipocytes with secondary entrapment of salivary gland elements. These tumors have been observed in both the major and minor salivary glands, with more than 20 cases being reported in the English literature. In general, the clinical presentation of sialolipomas of the...
