We studied the mechanisms of transformation some salivary enzymes and established real contribution glands to enzymatic homeostasis body in unilateral nephrectomy.The results were obtained that with nephrectomy, content amylase pepsinogen blood increases, but its lipolytic activity remains unchanged, volume basal secretion glands, release by parotid gland increases. Unilateral nephrectomy stimu...

Results Papillary thyroid cancer was present in 96% of the mainly female patients. In the majority of patients, the results for all four salivary glands were available. After 5 years, 35 patients (16%) reported a dry mouth. Symptoms of a dry mouth were more frequent with higher RAI doses (5.55 GBq, 18%; 3.7 GBq, 7.8%). The SGS before RAI was normal in 88% of 852 salivary glands. In the remainin...

Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a high-grade adenocarcinoma arising from the ductal epithelium of salivary glands which rarely involves the minor salivary glands. The varied histological presentation in the minor salivary gland tumors makes them the most heterogeneous group of neoplasms, making the diagnosis a challenge. This report highlights the importance of immunohistochemical markers in t...

AIM To investigate the localization and quantity of androgen receptor (AR) in the salivary glands of rats with further analysis on the effect of castration. METHODS Sixty male Wistar rats, aged 30-60 days, were randomly divided into three groups (castrated, sham-operated and normal controls) with 20 rats in each group. The rats in the castrated group were castrated and the submaxillary glands...

BACKGROUND Dysgenetic polycystic salivary gland disease is a rare pathology. No case of minor salivary gland involvement has been reported in the literature. METHODS A female patient presented with bilateral tumors of the parotid glands, bilateral submandibular gland enlargement, and multiple cystic lesions of the oral mucosa. MRI of the neck was performed along with fine-needle aspiration (F...

Inflammatory and obstructive disorders of the salivary glands are caused by very different pathological conditions affecting the gland tissue and/or the excretory system. The clinical setting is essential to address the appropriate diagnostic imaging work-up. According to history and physical examination, four main clinical scenarios can be recognised: (1) acute generalised swelling of major sa...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a slowly developing malignant tumor of the salivary glands, occurring more commonly in minor glands and rarely parotid glands. It has potential retrograde perineural spread to adjacent structures spaces. Here we report rare case ACC gland extended infratemporal fossa with vascular invasion, reflecting advanced stage disease. After consulting ENT specialists rad...

Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign salivary gland tumor that represents less than 5% of benign tumors in childhood. World literature suggests salivary gland tumors account for less than 3% of the head and neck tumors and benign Pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary glands arising de novo is very rare. Here we report a case of Pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary glands occurring on the palate of ...
