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...

major salivary gland tumors are uncommon and the exact nature of these tumors is not obvious. this study was carried out to compare the histological results of intraoperative frozen sections against those of permanent reports for major salivary glands masses. one hundred thirty-nine patients with major salivary gland masses who were candidates for surgery underwent an intraoperative frozen sect...

INTRODUCTION A mass in the salivary gland region often presents a diagnostic challenge with regard to its site of origin (salivary versus nonsalivary), benign or malignant nature, and tissue-specific diagnosis. The present study describes the utility of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology in the diagnosis of these lesions. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Over a 6-year period (January 1994 to December ...

Salivary gland masses are often encountered in the everyday practice of cytopathology. It is commonly known that cytologic interpretation these lesions can pose diagnostic problems due to overlapping cytomorphologic features. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) salivary shows good excellent sensitivity and specificity differentiating a neoplastic from non-neoplastic process diagnosing common tumors su...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess cone-beam computed (CBCT) sialography imaging in the detection of different changes associated with lesions of salivary glands. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study consisted of 8 cases with signs and symptoms from salivary gland lesions. Conventional sialography using digital panoramic and lateral oblique radiographs and CBCT sialography were perfo...

Hydatid cyst disease is a zoonotic infection.in human beings it apears as cystic lesions in different organs and the most common form is hydatid cyst of liver.one of the rare sites of the disease is salivary gland,which appears as a neck mass.therefore,when observing a cystic lesion in salivary glands.hydatid cyst should be considered and for confirmation of diagnosis spicial paraclinic techniq...

Although salivary gland rest in posterior pituitary is frequently observed during microscopic examination at autopsy, this rest tissue rarely causes clinical symptoms. So far, only three symptomatic salivary gland rest cyst in pituitary was reported. The author reports the 4(th) case of symptomatic pituitary salivary gland rest cyst in 26-year-old woman presenting with severe headache. The lesi...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Salivary gland tumors are rare and specific lesions. There are differences in the incidence and frequency of salivary tumors in both minor and major salivary glands in different countries. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of major and minor salivary gland tumors in Ahvaz in the south of Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS All the cases, recorded in Imam Khome...
