Introduction: Minor salivary gland tumors are relatively rare, but have a higher chance of malignancy than major salivary gland tumors. The palate appears to be the most commonly involved site. The most frequent benign tumor is the pleomorphic adenoma. Case report: We report a case of a pleomorphic adenoma, which occurred in the hard and soft palate of a 34-year-old female and presented as an a...

conclusions regarding the findings of this study, it can be concluded that erα possibly cannot play an important role in the tumorigenesis and prognosis of the investigated malignant salivary gland tumors. results for acc, only one specimen expressed the er, and this was assessed as moderate. no specimens of mec expressed the er. the comparison of er expression between the two groups was not me...

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore the differences in salivary microRNA (miRNA) profiles between patients withmalignant or benign parotid gland tumors as a potential preoperative diagnostic tool of tumors in the salivary glands. Experimental Design:Whole saliva samples from patients with malignant (n1⁄4 38) or benign (n1⁄4 29) parotid gland tumors were obtained from the Salivary Gland...

Salivary gland tumors are relatively rare neoplasms, mostly located in the parotid gland, and few are malignant. Preoperative evaluation of salivary gland tumors includes fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of FNAC in the evaluation of rare salivary gland neoplasms. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four cases of rare salivary gland...

Introduction: Sialadenoma papilliferum (SP) is a rare benign tumor, which originates from the minor salivary gland. It occurs at sites that have minor salivary glands, such as the palate, retromolar pads, buccal mucosa, and lips. The most common location for tumor development is on the hard palate. A differential diagnosis consists of ruling out other salivary gland tumors. Transoral robotic s...

background: salivary gland tumors constitute an important part of oral and maxillofacial pathology. pleomorphic adenoma (pa) and mucoepidermoid carcinoma (mec) are the most common benign and malignant salivary gland tumors. fascin is an actin-bundling protein that increases the motility of normal and transformed epithelial cells. the aims of the study were to determine the expression of fascin ...

Neoangiogenesis is essential for tumor development, invasion, and dissemination. The most potent of the cytokines associated with angiogenesis is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The aim of the present study was to determine VEGF serum level in patients with salivary gland tumor. Using an ELISA kit, the circulating levels of VEGF in sera from 58 patients with salivary gland tumor and ...
