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 Salivary gland tumours constitute heterogeneous group of tumours with different biological behaviour and account for 3% of all head and neck tumours. This study was conducted to study the clinico-pathological spectrum of salivary gland tumours. METHODS The study is a review of 91 cases of salivary gland tumours reported at Chugtai's Lahore Laboratory from 2009-2011. The clinical da...

A case of adenocystic carcinoma of the salivary gland arising in the hard palate metastatic to the choroid is presented. The histopathology of the tumour is discussed.

AIMS Hybrid tumours of the salivary gland are rare neoplasms that have been described only in the parotid and palate. Their recognition is important particularly when the component tumours have different biological behaviours. The occurrence of a submandibular hybrid tumour has not been reported. METHODS AND RESULTS We describe a case of a 36-year-old woman with a hybrid carcinoma composed of...

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...

OBJECTIVE To delineate the spectrum of salivary gland tumors in our setup. SETTING The Aga Khan University Medical Centre, Karachi. METHOD Tumors were analysed considering histological type, age and sex of the patients and anatomic location. The diagnosis of individual tumours was based on the 1991 World Health Organisation Classification. RESULTS During the span of eight years (1991-1998...

Neoplasm of salivary glands constitutes about 3% of all tumours of head and neck. Within the category we can differentiate tumours of a very different histological structure. What lies behind such great differences in the changes within the salivary glands is complex embryogenesis of the glands. About 80% of all tumours of salivary glands is located in parotid gland, from 10 to 20% - in submand...

Background: Salivary gland tumours are relatively uncommon and constitute 3% to 10% of all head & neck neoplasms. The majority salivary arise in the parotid gland.
 Objectives: To search clinicopathological presentation tumours.
 Methods: This was a cross sectional study.
 Results: highest incidence benign tumors 3rd 4th decade, whereas for malignant tumor it 5thdecade life. ...
