Background: The tumors of the salivary glands are uncommon head and neck neoplasms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relative frequencies, types, site distribution and the histopathological features of salivary gland tumors. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of 176 cases of salivary gland tumors collected from medical record section and department of pathology at B.P.Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital from Jan. 2005 to Dec. 2010. Tumors were analyzed based on demographics, anatomic location and histopathological type. Results: Out of 176 cases, 66 (37.5 %) were benign and 110 (62.5 %) were malignant with M:F ratio of 1.7:1. The mean age observed was 44.76 years with age range of 12 to 75 years. Pleomorphic adenoma was found to be the commonest benign tumor (72.7 %), followed by Warthin tumor (15.1%), monomorphic adenoma (3.0 %) and basal cell adenoma (3.0 %). The mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most common malignant tumor (38.1 %), followed by adenoid cystic carcinoma (25.4%), acinic cell carcinoma (10.9%), adenocarcinoma NOS (6.3%), carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (5.4%) and unclassified malignant tumor (4.5 %). Parotid was the most common site for the location of tumors (70.4%) followed by submandibular (19.3%) and minor salivary glands (10.2 %). Conclusion: Pleomorphic adenoma was the commonest salivary gland tumor observed in both sexes. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most common malignant salivary gland tumor. The parotid gland was the most common site of origin in both benign and malignant tumors. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpn.v4i7.10291 Journal of Pathology of Nepal (2014) Vol. 4, 520-524

AbstractTraditionally, sinonasal adenocarcinomas have been subdivided into intestinal (ITAC) and non-intestinal (non-ITAC) categories. The latter encompasses salivary-type adenocarcinomas originating from the seromucinous glands of the sinonasal mucosa and non-salivary adenocarcinomas. The non-salivary adenocarcinoma category is further subdivided into low-and high-grade variants. Among salivary-type sinonasal adenocarcinomas, tumors recapitulating salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) are exceedingly rare, but some might have been lumped into the high-grade non-ITAC category. To date, only three primary SDCs originating in the sinonasal tract have been reported. We herein describe 7 cases of SDC including one previously reported case (4 primary sinonasal, 3 metastatic/ extension from parotid gland SDC). The primary tumors affected 3 males and one female aged 60 – 75. Different sites were involved by the primary tumors while the secondary tumors affected the sphenoidal (2) and the frontal + maxillary (1) sinuses. Three primary tumors were de novo high-grade SDC and one was confined to contours of a pre-existing pleomorphic adenoma. All 3 secondary tumors were SDC ex pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid with a long history of recurrences, ultimately involving the sinonasal tract. Androgen receptor was positive in 7/7 cases. Four of 6 cases were strongly HER2/neu + (either score 3 + or with verified amplification). This small case series adds to the delineation of primary sinonasal SDC highlighting that almost half of invasive SDC presenting within sinonasal tract indeed represents extension or metastasis from a parotid gland primary. There is a tendency towards overrepresentation of HER2/neu-positive cases in both categories (primary and metastatic), but this needs clarification in larger studies.
