BACKGROUND: Metastatic involvement of pericardium producing cardiac tamponade is rare. When occurs it is mainly from the lung, breast and the neoplasms of the lymphoreticular system. Hematogenous spread of parotid adenocarcinoma to heart is extremely rare and only two cases have been reported in literature so far. CASE PRESENTATION: We report an unusual case of a patient with adenocarcinoma of ...

Papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (Warthin tumor, adenolymphoma) is a benign salivary gland tumor that occurs almost exclusively in the parotid gland. It represents 5 to 6% of all salivary gland tumors, and it is the second most common benign parotid neoplasm. Men are affected more often than women, usually in the fifth to seventh decades of life, although this gender proportion is changing. ...

Solitary fibrous tumors are benign spindle-cell neoplasms, mostly originating from the visceral pleura. They are common in individuals aged 20-70 with no sex predilection. To our knowledge, this is the unique case of the solitary fibrous tumor originating from the accessory parotid gland in the literature.

Background Lipoblastomas are rare benign neoplasms that arise from fetal white fat cells. They are typically found in children under the age of 3 and have been reported in the mediastinum, extremities, and infrequently in the head and neck. We present a rare case of a lipoblastoma arising from the parotid gland and the first known report of a parotid lipoblastoma in a teenager. Case presentat...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Weak or absent CT enhancement in pleomorphic adenomas of the parotid gland has been observed immediately after i.v. contrast administration. This feature can result in poor lesion conspicuity relative to both normal parotid tissue and other parotid abnormalities. The purpose of this study was to document the delayed CT enhancement characteristics of parotid pleomorphic ad...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of the salivary gland. Salivary gland neoplasms constitute 3% cancers all sites, which, 10–15% are malignant. Though adenoid most common tumor submandibular, sublingual and minor glands, it accounts for only 15% parotid cancers. They generally slow-growing spread relentlessly to adjacent structures. Hematogenous more than lymphatic spread, s...

Background: Salivary gland neoplasms are rare and constitute 3 to 4% of head neck neoplasms. Majority them benign a small percentage malignant tumors. A careful clinical examination judicious investigations help us plan for an optimal surgical management. The aim the study was clinico-epidemiological pattern, histological subtypes, management & postoperative complications salivary neoplasms...
