salivary  gland  tumors  accounts  for  less  than  1%  of  all  tumors.  minor  salivary  gland  tumors (msgts) are uncommon and make up about 10% of all salivary gland neoplasms. the clinical and histopathological distribution of these tumors vary geographically. a case of a 38 yr old man with a minor salivary gland mass at chin region isreported here. the tumor invaded into the anterior surf...

major salivary gland tumors are uncommon and the exact nature of these tumors is not obvious. this study was carried out to compare the histological results of intraoperative frozen sections against those of permanent reports for major salivary glands masses. one hundred thirty-nine patients with major salivary gland masses who were candidates for surgery underwent an intraoperative frozen sect...

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...

Introduction: Chronic sclerosing sialadenitis is a relatively uncommon disorder of the salivary gland. Because of its clinical similarity to a salivary gland neoplasm, this condition has been known as Kuttner tumor and is classified as a tumorlike lesion. Case Report: This is the first reported case of bilateral Kuttner tumor of the submandibular glands in Iran. It was initially diagnosed as...

background: salivary gland tumors are relatively uncommon and they consist of 3-10% of head and neck neoplasms. most of studies have shown geographic variation in the incidence and histopathologic types of salivary gland neoplasms. the aim of this study was to evaluate the salivary gland tumors in isfahan for 10 years duration. materials and methods: in this epidemiological study, 229 medical r...

Introduction: Cyfra 21 is a serum-soluble fragment of cytokeratin19. Increased Cyfra 21 serum levels and their benefit as a tumor marker have been shown in some malignancies. This study aimed to evaluate the serum levels of Cyfra 21 in patients with benign and malignant salivary gland tumors. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the serum level of Cyfra 21 in 44 patients with m...
