Previous research has shown that salivary gland tumors are rare in the young population. A clinical diagnosis has to be made very carefully because the proportion of malignancies is higher in children than in adults. We present a review of cases of malignant salivary gland carcinoma (SGC) in patients younger than 30 years of age. Data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End ...

Introduction: Malignant salivary gland tumors are rare entities. Despite advances in surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, the rate of the mortality and five-year survival has not been improved markedly over the last few decades. The activation of EGFR- RAS-RAF signaling pathway contributes to the initiation and progression of many human cancers, promising a key pathway for therapeutic m...

Normal salivary gland tissue has been recognized to positively stain for PSA, independently of gender, while immunostaining for AR has not been consistently found [6, 7]. Immunostaining for AR, and occasionally for prostatic acid phosphatase and PSA, has been reported in duct carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of salivary glands in both sexes [3–6, 8]. These findings suggest that, unlike prostate can...

Salivary gland neoplasms account for 0.5-2% of all tumors worldwide, and can display a remarkable range of morphological diversity between different tumor types. The aim of this retrospective study was to present the clinico-pathologic characteristics of salivary gland neoplasms in a tertiary referral hospital in northwest region of Nigeria. Clinical and histopathological records of patients wi...

conclusions a complete immunohistochemical study should be considered in cases of malignant salivary gland tumors. to reduce the recurrence rate of these tumors, the optimum therapies are radiotherapy and chemotherapy. introduction salivary gland tumors are rare head and neck lesions. the majority are benign, with only 20% of cases malignant. an epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is a rare low-...

objective(s): to review the findings of the patients with sjögren’s syndrome (ss) having technetium-99m-pertechnetate (99mtc-pertechnetate) and gallium-67 citrate (ga-67) salivary gland scintigraphy in the past eight years.methods: the patients with ss, who were referred to our department for salivary gland scintigraphy during january 2008-december 2015 were studied using both 99mtc-pertechneta...
