AbstractMost salivary gland tumours present with an obvious mass and are usually diagnosed clinically. We present a case of occult adenoid cystic carcinoma of the parotid which, due to its peculiar septal pattern of growth and complicated clinical setting. defied diagnosis for several years.

AbstractThe synchronous or metachronous occurrence of two tumours of the salivary glands in one patient is rare. These are mainly benign and of the same histological type. Here we report a 56-year-old man who developed a mucoepidermoid tumour of the left parotid gland four years after diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the right submandibular gland. This combination of neoplasms has not to our knowledge been reported before.

Rare Situation

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is an uncommon malignant neoplasm of the salivary gland. Liver metastasis from salivary gland cancer is a rare situation. In this article, we report the case of a 29-year-old woman treated 5 years previously for adenoid cystic carcinoma of the parotid gland by surgery and radiotherapy, who presented for a large hypervascularized hepatic metastasis of 20 cm. After 3-cycle chemotherapy stability, hepatic surgery was successfully performed. The patient maintained disease-free period of 12 months after the surgical treatment. This rare case represents a therapeutic challenge for oncologists and surgeons. Through this case and a review of the literature, we try to better detail the management of this uncommon entity.

Objectives: The objective of the study was to find the frequency of salivarygland tumours. Study Design: A descriptive study. Period: 1st Jan 2008 to 31st Dec 2010 (of 3years duration). Setting: ENT department Khyber Teaching Hospital and Surgical departmentHayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. Material and methods: Total number of 108 patientshaving salivary gland tumours enrolled from admitted patients in ENT department KhyberTeaching Hospital and Surgical department Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar. Thestudy was designed to find the frequency of salivary gland tumours. Results: In our studymost of the patients were having benign tumours (80.6%) with malignant counterpart in about19.4%. Overall the most common tumour was pleomorphic adenoma about 71.3% followed byMucoepidermoid 6.5%, adenoid cystic carcinoma 4.6% and Warthin’s tumour 4.6%. The mostcommonly involved salivary gland is parotid gland about 78.7% (85/108) with pleomorphicadenoma being the most common benign tumour and Mucoepidermoid the malignant variety.In submandibular gland/ sublingual glands the most common was pleomorphic adenomaand in minor salivary gland majority were malignant. Conclusion: Most of the salivary glandtumours are benign with majority of them are pleomorphic adenomas and parotid gland is themost common involved salivary gland.

Objectives: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) and mucoepidermoid carcinoma(MEC) are the commonest salivary gland malignancies in Pakistan constituting almost 75%of all malignant salivary gland tumours. The objective of this study was explore the clinical &morphological spectrum of these tumours in local population and to grade them w.r.t. moderngrading criteria. Study Design: Descriptive study. Setting: Department of Morbid Anatomy andHistopathology/ Oral Pathology, University of Health Sciences Lahore, Pakistan. Period: Jan.2014 to Sep. 2015. Method: Paraffin embedded blocks and detailed clinical data of 20 caseseach of adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma reported at local tertiarycare hospitals. The histologic diagnosis was made on Hematoxylin and Eosin staining. Thetumours were graded into grades I, II & III according to the most recent grading criteria. AdCCwas studied with respect to its morphological patterns (tubular, cribriform and solid) while MECwas studied with special concern to the cell types seen in it (mucous, intermediate, squamousand clear cells). Results: The most frequently observed age group for the patients of AdCCwas the 5th (45%) decade with mean age of 41.50±12.224 years and a female predilection of1.5:1. Minor salivary glands were the commonest site involved (80%) of which palate was mostfrequently affected (37.5%) followed by maxilla (25%). Grade I (75%) was most frequently notedgrade in AdCC. Cribriform pattern (60%) was the most frequently encountered predominanthistological pattern followed by equal distribution of tubular and solid Patterns (20% each).MEC affected most patients in 3rd (30%) decade with mean age of and 32.35±13.674 yearsand male predilection (60%). Parotid gland (70%) was the commonest site involved followedby maxilla (10%). Histologically, grade III (40%) was most frequently noted followed by gradeI (35%) and grade II (25%). Squamous cells (65%) were the predominant cell type in mostcases followed by mucous cells in (35%) cases. Conclusion: Adenoid cystic carcinoma andmucoepidermoid carcinoma both affect a younger age group in our population with a female(1.5:1) and male (1:1.5) predilection respectively. The most favoured site for AdCC and MEC ispalate and parotid gland respectively. Grade I AdCC and cribriform pattern are the commonestgrade and pattern encountered in this study. On the other hand, high grade (Grade III) MECis the most regularly encountered grade in MEC. So, proper grading and staging along withmeticulous surgical approach is needed to improve the life expectancy in these patients.
