Introduction Parotid gland squamous cell carcinoma is an uncommon aggressive neoplasm with poor prognosis. Aural polyps are usually the presenting features of chronic suppurative otitis media, tuberculous otitis media, and adenoma or carcinoma. The malignant aural polyp is very rare. Parotid gland carcinoma masquerading as an aural polyp has rarely been described in the literature. ...

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is one of the most common histological malignant salivary gland tumors, it frequently diagnosed in parotid gland. MEC also intra oral minor glands. Only a few cases tonsillar have been reported. We present rare case mucoepidermoid arising from left pharyngeal tonsil. This report shows that important to perform tonsillectomy when discovering neck metastasis tumors ...

Everybody is born with the mammary gland. Mammary gland development occurs through various stages throughout embryonic, and stays dormant for males. Although it uncommon, male also gets breast cancer, occasionally. Male cancer accounts approximately 1% of all cases, increasing. When compared other rare diseases, understudied. Typically, treated in same way as female cancer. In this article, asp...

background: sand fly saliva helps parasite establishment and induce immune responses in vertebrate hosts. in the current study, we investigated the modulation of phlebotomus papatasi salivary gland antigen expression by sea­sonal and biological factors. methods: sand flies were grouped according to physiological stages such as unfed, fed, semi-gravid, gravid, parous, nulliparous, infected or no...

background: patients with primary sjögren’s syndrome (pss) produce functional igg against cholinoreceptor of exocrine glands modifying their activity. the aim of the present work was to demonstrate pss igg antibodies (pss igg) interacting with m 3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (machr) of rats submandibular glands that alter mucin release and production via phospholipase c (plc) and cycloox...

background and aims. although salivary gland tumors are not very common, early diagnosis and treatment is crucial because of their proximity to vital organs, and therefore, determining the efficacy of new imaging procedures becomes important. this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and color doppler ultrasonography parameters in the diagnosis and differenti...

primary adrenal lymphoma is extremely rare. we report a case with primary bilateral adrenal lym-phoma in a young male patient. he presented with abdominal pain and weight loss. pathologic study revealed malignant lymphoma, diffuse large cell type (t- cell origin). patient recieved combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy but 22 months after diagnosis died because of progression of dis ease

purpose : to report a case of bilateral dense ring-shaped marginal keratitis after photorefractive keratectomy (prk) case report : a 44-year-old man developed bilateral dense ring-shaped marginal keratitis after prk. the patient had moderate to severe meibomian gland dysfunction preoperatively that was treated incompletely. he was treated with mild topical antibiotics, topical and systemic ster...

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...

a fibroadenoma was diagnosed in the mammary gland of a lamb by immunohistochemical method andmeasurement of oestradiol hormone. the tumor was characterized by an encapsulated firm mass with acreamy-white cut surface. histologically, it consisted of variably-sized sinus ducts, covered by a single ormultiple layers of proliferated epithelial cells, and embedded in a loose connective tissue. immun...
