BACKGROUND Adenoid cystic cancer arising in the salivary glands has distinctive features such as perineural invasion, distant metastasis, and a variable prognosis. In salivary gland cancer, c-kit, EGFR, and VEGF are representative molecular markers that may predict remnant and recurrent tumors. In this study, the expression of c-kit, EGFR, and VEGF in adenoid cystic cancer was evaluated, and th...

The major salivary glands consist of the parotid, the submandibular, and the sublingual glands. Under the control of the parasympathetic nervous system, the major salivary glands are responsible for the principal portion of saliva produced, which can be as much as 1.5 liters per day. The minor salivary glands of the oral cavity, pharynx, and upper airways contribute only a small percentage of t...

The present study was aimed to elucidate gross, histomorphological and histochemical status in parotid salivary gland of buffalo during neonatal life. The study was carried out on parotid salivary gland of eighteen buffalo neonates. These neonates were categorized into three groups based on their age, viz., Group-1: <1 month; Group-2: between1-2 months and Group-3: between 2-3 months. Macroscop...

OBJECTIVE Wegener's granulomatosis is a systemic vasculitis characterized by necrotizing granulomatous lesions mostly involving the upper and lower respiratory tract. The disease rarely causes parotid gland involvement and pneumothorax. We report a case of Wegener's granulomatosis involving parotid gland, and complicated with a pneumothorax. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 45-year-old man admitted wi...

Sialolithiasis is the most common disease of salivary gland. It commonly found in submandibular gland, but less frequently parotid and sublingual glands. The gland more prone to sialolithiasis than because Wharton's canal wider longer, it angulates against gravity at posterior border mylohyoid muscle secretion alkaline, mucinous, richer calcium phosphate slower flow rate. In this case report, a...

Objectives: The aim of this paper is to establish a correct approach to the diagnosis of a primary malignant melanoma of the parotid gland. Methods: We present a case of a patient with a painless mass situated in the left parotid region after an initial cytological and radiological study suggesting a Warthin tumor whose treatment involved a total parotidectomy with a facial nerve reconstruction...

Med., 1971, 105 (3), 223-231 -Comparative histologic examination and measurement of amylase values in pancreas and parotid gland were made on thirteen rats of the control group and eight rats with experimentally produced acute pancreatitis. Hist...

Salivary gland neoplasms are a rare group of tumors; the annual incidence rate is 1 in 100,000 individual, comprising about 3% of all head and neck neoplasms [4]. The mean age of patients with salivary gland tumors is 45 years, peaking in the sixth and seventh decades of life. Benign salivary gland tumors occur more frequently in females, while malignant tumors are slightly more frequent in mal...
