A 67-year-old male with three synchronous tumors in the unilateral parotid gland is reported. Postoperative histological examinations confirmed the presence of three synchronous primary tumors, specifically pleomorphic adenoma, Warthin's tumor and salivary duct carcinoma, in the right parotid gland. To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing three different histological types in...

Rhinosporidiosis is a benign chronic granulomatous infection caused by Rhinosporidiosis seeberi (R. seeberi). Rhinosporidiosis is endemic in South Asia, notably in Southern India and Sri Lanka. The common sites of involvement are the nose and nasopharynx followed by ocular tissue. Rhinosporidiosis is also known to involve many rare sites and may become disseminated to ocular in generalized form...

Background: Magnetic resonance sialography (MRS) can be used to clearly examine the main duct of parotid and is widely applied in diagnosis chronic obstructive parotitis (COP). However, there are few studies on classification, treatment options prognosis COP using MRS.

Post-traumatic parotid sialocoele is a subcutaneous extravasation of saliva from the parotid gland secondary to traumatic disruption of its duct or parenchyma. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the best therapy for parotid sialocoele, as it is resistant to conservative management. The present paper puts forward a relatively simple, safe and effective technique for the treatment of paro...

Salivary megaduct with stricture is characterized by recurrent pain, cheek and parotid swelling. We report on a case of circular web type fibrotic stenosis accompanying large found sialendoscopy. Although, sialendoscopy enabled minimally invasive diagnosis treatment stenotic lesion the Stensen’s duct, bougination not effective for severe stenosis. Transoral sialodochoplasty assisted can be an a...

Repair of parotid duct lacerations in 2 horses is described using intraluminal silastic tubing as a stent. The duct was lacerated traumatically at the facial vessel notch (incisura vasorum facialium) in the 1st horse, and iatrogenically after removal of an intraluminal sialolith after development of infection within the duct in the 2nd horse. In both cases, a silastic tube was passed retrograde...

The salivary glands are divided into major and minor/accessory glands. Tumours are not rare in salivary glands and are mainly found in major salivary glands. Tumours of accessory salivary glands are relatively less common. Accessory parotid gland is a small unit of salivary gland tissue lying on the masseter muscle and seperated from the main parotid gland with an accessory duct draining into t...

PURPOSE To describe a high-resolution MR imaging technique that depicts the complex anatomy of the region of the parotid gland, focusing on the intraparotid components of the facial nerve and parotid duct. METHODS High-resolution T1-weighted images of the parotid gland were acquired with a prototype three-dimensional Fourier transform gradient-echo sequence that permits a very short echo time...
