Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of the salivary gland. Salivary gland neoplasms constitute 3% cancers all sites, which, 10–15% are malignant. Though adenoid most common tumor submandibular, sublingual and minor glands, it accounts for only 15% parotid cancers. They generally slow-growing spread relentlessly to adjacent structures. Hematogenous more than lymphatic spread, s...

Salivary gland tumors are often considered difficult to diagnose pathologically because of their histological variability and complexity. There were only nine types in the first edition (1972) WHO classification salivary tumors; however, 35 will be adopted 5th (2022). This is mainly due epidemiological data, recognition new concepts, advances immunohistochemistry discovery tumor-specific gene m...

Warthin’s tumor is the most common monomorphic adenoma of parotid gland. It can be coexistent with other salivary gland tumors or metachronous, multifocal, unilateral, bilateral which perplexes diagnosis hence delaying over/under treating ailment. Rare cases are described in young population especially non-smoker females. We present a case arising left 20-year-old female.

Salivary glands are exocrine that secrete saliva, which plays an important role in the maintenance of oral health. Few reports exist on contralateral salivary gland is not directly affected when one by sialolithiasis, radiation therapy, or a tumor. In present study, we investigated changes submandibular mice following excision unilateral gland. Outcomes this study showed and sublingual resectio...

Unlike cancers of related exocrine tissues such as the mammary and prostate gland, diagnosis and treatment of aggressive salivary gland malignancies have not markedly advanced in decades. Effective clinical management of malignant salivary gland cancers is undercut by our limited knowledge concerning the key molecular signals that underpin the etiopathogenesis of this rare and heterogeneous hea...

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumour of major salivary gland presenting as a painless mass gradually increasing in size, usually involving parotid gland. In minor gland, it more palate. lip rare tumour. Thus, we present case pleomorphic originating from upper 75 years old male patient. The tumor was completely excised and sent for histopathological examination which showed micro...

Salivary gland tumors are rare and account for 2-3% of tumors occurring in the head and neck. Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign neoplasm which is commonly encountered in the parotid gland and other major salivary glands. At times they can also develop in minor salivary glands of the palate. The majority of minor salivary gland tumors are malignant. This case report describes a case of mixed tumor...

BACKGROUND The incidence of salivary gland tumors is claimed to be influenced by geographical and racial factors. The pathological classification and nomenclature of salivary gland tumors as defined by WHO classification (1991), is accepted world-wide but little is available in the literature regarding the spectrum of salivary gland tumors in Africa in the basis of this classification. Such eff...
