Introduction. Although pleomorphic adenoma is the most common neoplasm of the salivary glands, this tumor most commonly involves the minor salivary glands of palatal and rarely occurs in cervical region.Case Report. A 21-year-old female referred to our clinic due to painless mass of right upper region of neck. After paraclinical and pathologic evaluation, it was diagnosed as cervical pleomorphic adenoma.Conclusion. Pleomorphic adenoma may be rarely involving the neck. Although the prognosis is good, the choice treatment is the complete resection of the tumor.

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common neoplasm in major and minor salivary glands. It constitutes approximately 90% of all benign salivary gland lesions and the parotid is the most affected location. When the minor salivary glands are affected, it mostly occurs at the junction of the hard and soft palates. The diagnosis is complex because of the great histological variety and biological behavior of this tumor, a histopathological examination being essential. The recommended treatment is surgical excision. For lesions located superficially in the parotid gland, superficial parotidectomy - identifying and preserving the facial nerve - is necessary. Lesions in the palate or gums sometimes demand a margin of safety, being excised below the periosteum, including the overlying mucosa. With correct surgical removal, the prognosis is excellent. The aim of this study is to report a case of an unusual minor salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma in the hard palate, describing the most important aspects of this pathology.

ABSTRACT Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of the salivary glands and has both epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. It most commonly arises from the parotid or submandibular glands. Rarely, it arises from the minor salivary glands. We report here a case of pleomorphic adenoma arising from the soft palate and both sides of anterior tonsillar pillars in a 75-year-old man. This patient was presenting painless slow growing large swelling in the soft palate over 20 years causing mechanical obstruction of airway and food. The entire tumor mass was excised along with overlying mucosa. How to cite this article Swain SK, Sahu MC, Tripathy R.

AbstractSalivary gland tumors account for less than 3% of the head and neck tumors. Among various salivary gland tumors, pleomorphic adenoma is most common and accounts for 60- 70% of the benign tumors of salivary glands. However, the involvement of minor salivary glands of buccal mucosa is extremely uncommon and reported to be 4% only. Salivary glands may present with a diverse range of lesions presenting a challenge to even the most experienced clinician. We report two rare cases of pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary glands of buccal mucosa in a 45 year old female and 70 years old male respectively. It includes clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of the tumor.

Chondroid Metaplasia

Salivary gland tumors are rare among all head and neck tumors. Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most commonly seen subtype, and 85% of the cases are located in the parotid gland. PA may very rarely be seen in minor salivary glands. Minor salivary gland PAs are mostly located in the hard and soft palates. Nasopharyngeal PA is very rare, and a total of 8 cases have been published to date. In this case report, a 51-year-old female patient who had nasopharyngeal PA with chondroid metaplasia is presented, and we review the relevant literature.

Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma is a rare salivary gland malignant tumor of low aggressiveness, commonly occurring in minor salivary glands. Its origin in major salivary glands is considered exceedingly rare. We report a case of polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma arising from left parotid in a 21-yearold female patient.Journal of Pathology of Nepal (2012) Vol. 2, 331-334DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpn.v2i4.6890

Plemorphic adenoma is a frequent benign tumor of the major salivary glands. It could also develop from accessory salivary glands. We are reporting an extremely rare case of pleomorphic adenoma developing from the infratemporal space. The final diagnosis was based on histological confirmation. The treatment was mainly a complete resection via an anterior transmaxillary approach. Diagnosis, clinical behaviour, and treatment of pleomorphic adenoma of the infra-temporal space are reviewed from the literature.

Introdução: O adenoma pleomórfico (AP) é um tumor de glândulas salivares, misto, benigno composto de células epiteliais e mioepiteliais dispostas em vários padrões morfológicos, demarcadas dos tecidos circundantes por uma cápsula fibrosa. Dentre as glândulas salivares, é predominante nas intraorais com maior frequência no palato. Sua etiopatologia ainda é controversa. Objetivo: Relatar um caso clínico de adenoma pleomórfico localizado em região póstero lateral direito, do palato tratado cirurgicamente. Relato do Caso: Paciente, sexo feminino, 55 anos, foi encaminhada com laudo histopatológico de adenoma pleomórfico. Ao exame físico, foi observou um aumento de volume caracterizado como um nódulo séssil, consistente à palpação, localizado em palato duro direito, com aproximadamente 4cm de extensão em seu maior diâmetro, superfície íntegra, coloração normal e indolor. Ao exame tomográfico, imagem unilocular, bem delimitada, com reabsorção óssea local. Como tratamento, optou-se pela exérese cirúrgica da lesão sob anestesia geral, a qual foi realizada sem intercorrências. Paciente atualmente se encontra com 1 ano de pós-operatório sem sinais de recidiva. Conclusão: O tipo de tratamento descrito apresenta excelente prognóstico, com baixas taxas de recidiva.Descritores: Adenoma Pleomorfo; Cirurgia Bucal; Patologia Bucal.ReferênciasSharma A, Deshmukh S, Shaikh A, Dabholkar J.

Epithelial Myoepithelial Carcinoma

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is a rare salivary gland tumor that is histologically characterized by biphasic tubular structures composed of inner ductal and outer clear myoepithelial cells, which is especially uncommon in the minor salivary glands (MSG). Because of its histologic variety, complexity, and heterogeneity, it is sometimes challenging to make the accurate diagnosis. Here, we report a literature review of EMC of the MSGs with our experience of two cases. Incisional biopsy was suggestive of pleomorphic adenoma in Case 1 and pleomorphic adenoma or a low-grade salivary gland carcinoma in Case 2. Both cases were performed intraoral tumor resection, and they have good postoperative courses and are alive with no evidence of local recurrence or metastasis at 31 and 16 months, respectively. Considering that the anatomy, structure, and size of salivary glands are quite different from MSGs, it might be difficult to predict EMCs of the MSG similarly to EMCs of the major salivary glands. This comprehensive review also reports the features of EMC of the MSG cases and the trends of diagnosis and discusses treatment strategy.
