Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a rare malignant salivary gland tumour, with a good prognosis, that is usually found on the tongue or palate. [ 1 ] Signs and symptoms
Fast neutron therapy has been used successfully to treat salivary gland tumors, [14] and has shown to be significantly more effective than photons in studies treating unresectable salivary gland tumors. [15] [16] Chemotherapy Currently little is known about the efficacy of chemotherapy in treating salivary gland tumours. Chemotherapy, which ...
Acinic cell carcinoma is a malignant tumor representing 2% of all salivary tumors. 90% of the time found in the parotid gland, 10% intraorally on buccal mucosa or palate. The disease presents as a slow growing mass, associated with pain or tenderness in 50% of the cases. Often appears pseudoencapsulated.
Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare type of cancer that can exist in many different body sites. This tumor most often occurs in the salivary glands, but it can also be found in many anatomic sites, including the breast, [1] [2] lacrimal gland, lung, brain, Bartholin gland, trachea, and the paranasal sinuses.
Warthin's tumor, also known as papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum, is a benign cystic tumor of the salivary glands containing abundant lymphocytes and germinal centers (lymph node-like stroma). It is named for pathologist Aldred Scott Warthin , who described two cases in 1929.
Over a 45-years span — between 1975 and 2020 — improvements in cancer screenings and prevention strategies have reduced deaths from five common cancers more than any advances in treatments ...
Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a rare type of aggressive cancer that arises from the salivary glands. [1] It is predominantly seen in men and, generally, has a poor prognosis. [2] Other high grade carcinomas can mimic SDC. About 40-60% of SDC arise in pleomorphic adenomas. [3] Most, if not all, SDCs express androgen receptor by ...
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) [1] is the most common type of minor salivary gland malignancy in adults. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma can also be found in other organs, such as bronchi, lacrimal sac, [2] and thyroid gland. Mucicarmine staining is one stain used by pathologist for detection. [3]
