Basal cell adenoma is an uncommon benign epithelial neoplasm of salivary gland which derives its name from the basaloid appearance of tumor cells and accounting for 1-2 % of all salivary gland epithelial tumors. This tumor usually arises in the major salivary glands, with the parotid being the most frequent site of occurrence, followed by the upper lip; while it is very rare in the minor saliva...

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 ...

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...

Objective(s): To review the findings of the patients with Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) having technetium-99m-pertechnetate (99mTc-pertechnetate) and gallium-67 citrate (Ga-67) salivary gland scintigraphy in the past eight years.Methods: The patients with SS, who were referred to our department for salivary gland scintigraphy during January 2008-December 2015 were studied using both 99mTc-pertechneta...

Salivary gland metaplasia is a newly recognized, adenosis-like lesion which could not be classified according to known categories of adenosis of the breast. We report a case of basaloid ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) arising in a background of salivary gland metaplasia in a 49-year old woman who visited our hospital for a right breast mass. Breast ultrasonography showed a multi-lobulating mixe...

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...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma also known as cylindroma is a rare tumor, accounting for only 1% of all malignant tumors of the oral and maxillofacial region. It accounts for 22% of all salivary gland malignancies and involves both major and minor salivary glands but the percentage for involvement of minor salivary gland is more than that of major salivary glands. 1 It is a slow growing tumor and is o...

We report a rare case of parotid oncocytoma in 63-year-old woman. It is benign tumor accounting for less than 1.5% all salivary gland tumors. known as the mitochondrioma because it made cells rich mitochondria with granular cytoplasm. entity poorly documented literature, and there are no pathognomonicsymptoms or imaging, which makes diagnosis this challenging.Surgery main treatment, confirmed b...

Introduction: Sialolipoma is an extremely rare salivary gland tumor characterized by a well circumscribed mass composed of glandular tissue and mature adipose elements. Herein our aim was to present the fifth case of congenital sialolipoma, which was firstly followed up as a parotid gland hemangioma, and underline the fact that sialolipomas should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis o...

BACKGROUND Minor salivary gland tumors of the sinonasal region are rare. Minor salivary gland tumors of this region behave differently from other subsites in the head and neck. The objective of our study was to analyze the survival and prognostic factors in patients with minor salivary gland tumors of the sinonasal region. METHODS We carried out a retrospective review of patients with minor s...
