cystadenoma is a rare benign salivary gland tumor that chiefly originates in the minor salivary glands as a cystic growth with papillary projections into the cystic lumen without the lymphoid element. it is further classified into two histopathological variants that have been recognized by world health organization as the papillary and the mucinous forms of cystadenoma. clinically, it is diffic...

s t l a b b t a a alivary calculi are usually unilateral in occurrence nd round to oblong, have an irregular (majority) or mooth surface, vary in size from a small grain to the ize of a peach pit, and are usually yellow.1 The stones ay occur in the duct or gland, with multiple stones ot uncommon. They are found more often in adults, lthough they also occur in children.2 The classic ymptoms are ...

Sialoendoscopy is a minimally invasive technique used in the diagnosis and management of salivary gland disorders with promising success rates. Our objective is to describe our experience in sialoendoscopy, outlining our technique, success rates and complications, and to compare our data to those reported in the literature. A retrospective review and data analysis of all sialoendoscopic procedu...

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 submandibular glan...

Sialadenitis, or recurrent salivary gland infection associated with pain and swelling of the major salivary glands, is a common presentation to emergency rooms and outpatient clinics. One of the most frequent causes of sialadenitis is obstruction in the salivary ductal system. Salivary calculi affect 1.2% of the population and account for 60-70% of salivary duct obstruction (Nahlieli 2004; Kim ...

Sialolithiasis is a common disease of the major salivary glands, characterized by the obstruction of a salivary gland or its excretory duct due to the formation of calcareous concretions. Sialoliths usually measure from 1 mm to <10 mm. They rarely measure more than 15 mm, and infrequently giant salivary gland calculi >15 mm have been reported in the literature. The submandibular gland and its d...

the aim of this study was to investigate the radioprotective effect of thymol as a natural product against salivary glands dysfunction induced by ionizing radiation in rats. the rats were treated with thymol at dose of 50 mg/kg before exposure to radiation at dose 15gy. salivary gland function was evaluated with radioisotope scintigraphy and then salivary gland to background counts ratio was ca...

Introduction: In this study the automatic separation of oral and salivary gland activity and spontaneous secretion by means of factor analysis for quantitative salivary gland scintigraphy is introduced. Methods: After intravenous administration of 99mTc sodium pertechnetate, dynamic scintigraphy was performed. 20 minutes after tracer application 2 ml of lemon juice was delivered to stimulate t...

Salivary  gland  tumors  accounts  for  less  than  1%  of  all  tumors.  Minor  salivary  gland  tumors (MSGTs) are uncommon and make up about 10% of all salivary gland neoplasms. The clinical and histopathological distribution of these tumors vary geographically. A case of a 38 yr old man with a minor salivary gland mass at chin region isreported here. The tumor invaded into the anterior ...
