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...

Objective: Recent studies revealed the existence of ectopic gene at t(6;9)(q22-23;p23-24) in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), resulting in MYB-NFIB fusion gene formation. In this study, we discuss the expression of MYB of ACC in salivary gland and its clinicopathological significance. Methods: We examined 98 samples of salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma and 68 samples of salivary non-ACC ne...

the papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (pcl), also called warthin's tumor, is a benign salivary gland tumor which primarily involves the parotid gland. these lesions are composed of a double layer of cuboidal or culmnar eosinophilic cells lining a cystic cavity which lymphoid tissue is present in the supporting stroma. the lesions shows a predilection for males, with peak incidence during...

BACKGROUND Core needle biopsy is a relatively new technique used to diagnose salivary gland lesions, and its role in comparison with fine needle aspiration cytology needs to be refined. METHODS We compared the results of 228 ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy and 371 fine needle aspiration procedures performed on major salivary gland tumors with their postoperative histological diagnoses. ...

BACKGROUND Core needle biopsy (CNB) has gained acceptance as a minimally invasive procedure in the head and neck. Nevertheless, many concerns arise regarding the value and safety of this method in the assessment of salivary gland lesions. METHODS This prospective study comprises 111 patients with a salivary gland lesion. The results of ultrasound-guided CNB were compared with those of fine-ne...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy and imaging are commonly used in the preoperative assessment of salivary gland mass lesions. The goal of this retrospective study was to clarify the role of FNA and imaging in the workup of salivary gland masses. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS A computer search identified patients with an FNA of a salivary gland les...

introduction sialolithiasis is the most common disease of salivary glands. sialography is particularly important for the assessment of the outflow tract and in diagnosing obstructive salivary gland lesions including calculi. case presentation we report on a 38-year-old female with sialolithiasis whom had wharton’s duct perforation, complicating the sialography. she was treated conservatively wi...

Osseous choristoma is the formation of normal mature bone at an abnormal position. These are rare benign tumor-like growth usually asymptomatic except or swelling as clinical presentation. In oral cavity, osseous and commonly found in posterior third tongue. Clinically it misdiagnosed malignancy because its hardness. Clinically, also mistaken for other cavity lesions, especially those minor sal...

BACKGROUND Major salivary gland pathology is an uncommon but important finding which may initially present to general dental and medical practitioners. The consequences of misdiagnosis are important, as acute obstruction and neoplasia are the main pathological lesions diagnosed. The purpose of this study was to analyze a consecutive series of major gland pathologies treated surgically to determ...
