This lesion presented as a lateral anterior neck mass. At surgery, it was found to be a soft 3.0 × 2.1 × 1.8 cm tumor of the submandibular salivary gland. The photo shows the characteristic dark color of an oncocytoma, a rare type of benign neoplasm, at the left side of the image (the normal lobulated salivary gland tissue is to the right).
Warthin's tumor primarily affects older individuals (age 60–70 years). There is a slight male predilection according to recent studies. The tumor is slow growing, painless, and usually appears in the tail of the parotid gland near the angle of the mandible.
The benign tumors of the submandibular gland is treated by simple excision with preservation of mandibular branch of the facial nerve, the hypoglossal nerve, and the lingual nerve. [17] Other benign tumors of minor salivary glands are treated similarly. Malignant salivary tumors usually require wide local resection of the primary tumor.
Presents as painless, slow-growing mass that is firm or hard. Most appear clinically as mixed tumors. ... Relative incidence of submandibular tumors, showing ...
Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (ca ex PA) is a type of cancer typically found in the parotid gland. It arises from the benign tumour pleomorphic adenoma. Its prognosis depends on the stage. Early tumours have essentially a benign behaviour. [1]
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.
Exocrine pancreatic cancers are the most common form of pancreatic cancer when compared to endocrine pancreatic cancer. [1] Acinic cell carcinomas arise most frequently in the parotid gland. Other sites of primary tumors have included the submandibular gland and other major and minor salivary glands.
