AbstractA case is reviewed of a giant benign myoepithelioma of the soft palate presenting in an elderly female patient. Due to the large size of the lesion and its mass effect the patient developed dysphagia with subsequent significant weight loss. The clinico-pathological features of this rare tumour are described and the literature reviewed.

AbstractThe case of a minor salivary gland tumour, arising from the tongue, with nodal metastasis is presented. Biopsy of the tumour and fine-needle aspiration cytology of the neck swelling showed the presence of a clear cell carcinoma with evidence of nodal metastases. A commando operation was performed and the defect was reconstructed using a local tongue flap. The literature review indicated that the neoplasm was rare and its site of occurrence rather unusual.

Spindle cell lipoma (SCL) is a rare distinct variant of lipoma, which presents as a painless, circumscribed, slow-growing, superficial lesion on the lip and can mimic a minor salivary gland tumour. We present a slow growing lower lip lesion and its management.Case Report. A 38-year-old female gave an eight-year history of a slow-growing mass on her lower lip with intermittent change in size. She presented with a submucosal nodule and thin overlying mucosa adjacent to the vermilion border. Surgical excision was carried as the diagnostic and therapeutic approach.Conclusion. Lip SCL is rare, and surgical excision is advocated in order to exclude underlying pathology and minor salivary gland tumours.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumour originating from minor salivary glands. It is known for perineural spread, local recurrences and distant metastasis. The minor salivary gland tumour represents 3% of all head and neck neoplasms, whereas ACC constitutes about 0.5% of all malignant salivary gland neoplasms. This study was done to evaluate the clinical presentation and histopathological findings of minor salivary gland tumour.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This study was done in the department of ENT, Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute from May 2017 to July 2019. Of the 25 patients with minor salivary gland tumour, 10 patients with ACC were considered for the present study. A detailed clinical and histopathological evaluation was done. Results were documented and tabulated in excel sheet.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> We analysed data of 25 (16 female, 9 male) patients in the age group of 30-60 years, of which 10 patients had adenoid cystic carcinoma of minor salivary gland tumour. The most frequent site of tumour occurrence was noted in the hard palate (6 patients), followed by retromolar trigone (2 patients), floor of mouth (1 patient) and tongue (1 patient). The histopathological pattern noted most commonly in our study: cribriform pattern (6 cases), tubular (1 case) and solid (3 cases).</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> ACC of minor salivary glands is rare. The otorhinolaryngologist should bear this clinical entity in mind when encountered with a painless swelling over the hard palate. This would lead to an early diagnosis and prompt management in such patients.</p>

Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC) is a rare tumour, with an annual incidence of approximately one per million. Almost all cases occur in patients aged 40 to 50 years, but there is a minor peak in occurrence among children younger than 5 years. It demonstrates no significant gender predilection. At the time of presentation, ACC tend to be very large and have usually spread beyond the confines of the adrenal gland. The presentation of this tumour may vary, either it can present as virilisation or Cushing’s syndrome or both. The authors present their experience of a rare presentation of an asymptomatic ACC with a large size of tumour mass with no metastasis with just complain of burning micturition in a 55-year-old male patient which was difficult to diagnose clinically. The patient is doing well after surgical management.

Objectives: To find out the clinicopathological factors of minor salivary gland tumour. Methods: An attempt has been made to explore the relative incidence, clinical presentation, age and sex distribution, histological type, site of involvement of each cases of minor salivary gland tumour. Thirty cases of minor salivary gland tumours were studied. Sampling method was purposive, convenient. Data were collected in a prescribed data sheet from BSMMU, DMCH and BKZMC and SSH, Dhaka, during the period of October 2006 to May 2007. Results: In this series of 30 patients, 20 cases (67%) were found malignant and 10 cases (33%) were benign. Regarding the site of distribution of minor salivary gland tumour, 67% (20) were found in the hard palate, three patients were found in the soft palate, three patients in the check, two in the nasopharynx and two in the alveolar margin. All benign tumours in this series were pleomorphic adenoma. Monomorphic adenoma was not found in any patients. Among malignant tumour adenoid cystic carcinoma was the most common 70% (14). Pleomorphic adenoma was found in 33% (10) of total cases. Muco-epidermoid carcinoma was the 2nd most common malignant tumour 12.5% (4). Carcinoma in pleomorphic adenoma was the least common histological type 6% (2). Conclusion: Early diagnosis and treatment of minor salivary gland tumour is likely to lead to a fair outcome. All patients with swelling in hard palate should be considered as a minor salivary tumour. Sub clinical lymphatic metastasis may occur in malignant cases, so all patients should be referred for radiotherapy following surgery. Distant metastases are also rare in such type of malignancy.

Pleural Neoplasms

Solitary fibrous tumours of the pleura are rare pleural neoplasms that are distinct from mesothelioma. Most of them are benign, although some behave aggressively; morphological and pathological features are important in distinguishing them from mesothelioma and in predicting clinical behaviour. Solitary fibrous tumours often grow to a large size before causing symptoms, and are characteristically associated with hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy in up to 20% of cases. In cases of benign lesions, complete resection is usually curative. A case involving a 62-year-old woman who underwent surgical resection of a solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura measuring 25 cm in size is described.
