Bilateral parotid tumors occur very rarely; they account for 0.5 % of 544 cases of parotid tumors recorded at the National Cancer Institute of Milan from 1945 to 1974. Three cases of bilateral tumors are described; two tumors were synchronous and one metachronous. The patients were women of 51, 46 and 52 years. The histologic type was the same on both sides in all cases, namely adenolymphoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma and mixed tumor respectively. Surgical excision was the treatment of choice; according to the histology of the tumors partial (adenolymphoma) or total parotidectomy (mixed and malignant tumors) was performed. As to the case of mucoepidermoid cancer of both parotid glands no recurrence was observed after five years.

In the period 1928–1968 in a series of 355 benign and malignant tumors of the parotid observed at the National Cancer Institute in Milan there were 36 cases of adenolymphoma. The clinical, morbid anatomy and histogenetic features of these cases are described. On the strength of the following findings: normal salivary tissue enclosed within an intraparotid lymph node, the association of a mixed tumor and an adenolymphoma in the same gland, the bilaterality of the tumor in 2 cases and the functional activity demonstrated with 131I, the salivary origin of adenolymphoma is argued. As to treatment, given the biological characteristics of the tumor, enucleation/resection would seem to be the operation of choice. For various reasons, however, including the difficulty of a precise preoperative diagnosis, total parotidectomy, sparing the 7th cranial nerves, is more often performed.

Introduction: Salivary gland tumors are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that are relatively rare but represent a wide variety of both benign and malignant histopathologic subtypes. The aim of this study was to find out the histopathological distribution of primary salivary gland tumors and correlate fine needle aspiration cytology reports with histological findings.Materials and Methods: A total of 83 patients attending the otorhinolaryngology department with salivary gland tumors were enrolled in our study. The histopathological findings were reported and correlated with cytological findings.Results: The mean age of the patient with salivary tumors was 43.11 ± 13.02 years. Out of 83 cases, 3 (3.6%) patients were diagnosed as inflammatory lesions, 64 (77.1%) patients had benign salivary gland tumors and 16 (19.3%) of patients had malignant salivary glands tumors in histopathology. The sensitivity and specificity of FNAC in this series for detecting salivary gland malignancy were 68.8% and 98.5% respectively with an overall diagnostic accuracy of 92.8%. The most common salivary gland tumor was found to be pleomorphic adenoma (56.6%) and the most common malignant salivary gland tumor was found to be mucoepidermoid carcinoma (19.3%). The comparison of the incidence of salivary gland tumors in various age groups showed a statisticallysignificant difference (p=0.009).  Conclusions: Benign salivary tumors are more common than malignant tumors with the most common occurrence in parotid glands. Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor whereas; mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor in patients visiting Nobel medical college.

Neck Tumors

Two hundred sixty-seven patients with tumors in the neck, observed at the Children's Memorial Hospital, have been reviewed. Forty-seven of these patients had malignancy. The most common malignancy was lymphosancoma or Hodgkin's disease (20 cases). The highest incidence of malignant degeneration in tumors of a specific organ occurred in the thyroid (50%). The over-all malignancy rate in neck tumors in this series was 15.7%. This study was undertaken primarily to evaluate clinical patterns and diagnostic methods. It was of great interest to find that tumors of the neck are not as deadly as one might suppose. At least 84% of the lesions were benign and responded well when accepted methods for their treatment were carried out. Moreover, it was fascinating to find that, aside from certain organspecific carcinomas (e.g., thyroid and parotid glands), most cervical neoplasms arose from mesodermal tissues and, when malignant, offered a very poor prognosis. Yet, most lesions arising in the neck manifested themselves before metastasizing beyond the region, so that, if they were localized, surgical excision offered excellent opportunity for adequate containment. Certainly, the backbone of treatment of neck tumors, regardless of type, was surgical ablation, wherever possible. A few neck tumors were metastatic in nature, but adequate study and evaluation of the patient usually demonstrated the distal primary before operation was undertaken. Another interesting point, not entirely foolproof but fairly reliable, is the observation that malignant tumors generally were located in the posterior cervical triangle. This applied almost universally, except for lesions in the thyroid gland. Although biopsy is the only way to be certain, it is comforting to have some assurance preoperatively that a solitary mass in the anterior cervical triangle probably is benign. The probability that a cervical tumor is malignant increases in the following order: (1) multiple tumors located in the anterior triangle of the neck; (2) tumors, single or multiple, located in the posterior cervical triangle; (3) multiple tumors located both in the anterior and posterior cervical triangles. Tumors of the thyroid gland represent a class unto themselves. When they are present the malignancy rate is very high, and in this series represented approximately 50%.

Multiple unilateral parotid gland tumors are very rare. A review of the literature shows only seven cases of coexisting unilateral parotid tumors. This patient had a benign mixed tumor and a mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the right parotid gland. This is the eighth reported case of multiple unilateral parotid tumors and the first to show such a combination of tumors.

During 2011-2012, 56 patients diagnosed with parotid tumors were admitted to the Maxillofacial Surgery Department of “Lucian Blaga” University and in Euroclinic Hospital. 72% were benign tumors and 28% malignant. All patients received surgical treatment (total or partial parotidectomy). For the malignant tumors, radiotherapy was added to the modal treatment (94% of the cases). Pleomorphic adenoma was encountered in 70% of the benign cases, followed by Warthin tumor in 15%. Adenoid cystic carcinoma was noticed in 31% of the malignant cases, mucoepidermoid carcinoma in 25% of the cases, and squamous carcinoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma on 12.5% of the malignant cases.

Common Primary Malignant Bone

AbstractChondrosarcomas are the second most common primary malignant bone tumors. Head and neck chondrosarcomas constitute less than 10% of these tumors, rarely arising from the nasal septum. These are locally aggressive malignant tumors arising from the cartilaginous framework of the nasal septum. Rarity of the tumor coupled with nonspecific symptoms makes it a diagnostic dilemma. Diagnosis requires endoscopy, radiology, and final histopathology for confirmation. Treatment is mainly surgical, requiring complete surgical excision with clear margins. Radiation has a role in unresectable tumors or for tumors with positive margins after surgery. Survival depends on the grade of tumor that predicts the metastatic potential of the tumor. We present a rare case of chondrosarcoma arising from the nasal septum in a 29-year-old young female presenting with complaints of nasal obstruction. Computed tomography was suggestive of a calcified cartilaginous tumor arising from the nasal septum. Endoscopic excision was done and postoperative histopathology showed grade II chondrosarcoma with clear margins. No adjuvant treatment was given to our patient and 2 years post-excision patient is disease free.To conclude, chondrosarcoma of the nasal septum is a rare tumor, with nonspecific symptoms. Surgery with clear margins remains the treatment of choice. Prognosis depends on the extent of tumor at presentation, resection margins, and grade of tumor.

Pyogenic granulomas (PGs) in the oral cavity present as an inflammatory hyperplasia usually caused by trauma, hormonal imbalance, chronic irritation, or as the response to a wide variety of drugs. PGs with atypical presentation and behavior may clinically mimic malignant tumors. Thus, histological examination is required to rule out cancer development. Lesions in the oral cavity have been described to be either an isolated entity or present in multiple forms and with multiple recurrences. Conservative surgical excision is the standard choice of treatment in almost every scenario. However, the severity of the lesions and the affected sites often challenge surgical treatment. In this report, we describe the clinical scenario of a recurrent PG, where surgical excision of the lesion was questioned. As an alternative, we describe a noninvasive approach with lesional steroid injections.

Objectives: To evaluate the usefullness of dynamic contrast-enhanced MR Imaging (DCE-MRI) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) for differentiating benign from malignant parotid tumors. Methods: Prospectively,DCE-MRI and DWI were performed in 112 patients, with 148 confirmed parotid masses. The differential optimal thresholds were determined. Results: WConsidering tumors with time-intensity curve (TIC) Type C as malignant, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy were 95%, 76%, 79%, respectively. Considering ADC threshold values 0.709×10-3mm2 /s<ADC<0.948×10-3mm2 /s as malignant, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy were 75%, 78%, 78%, respectively. Considering TIC Type C and ADC values 0.709×10-3mm2 /s<ADC<0.948×10-3mm2 /s as malignant, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy were 75%, 91%, 89%, respectively. With threshold Kep<1.118 min-1 and Ve >0.315 between Warthin and malignant tumors, threshold Kep>0.555 min-1 and Ve <0.605 between pleomorphic adenomas and malignant tumors, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy for malignancy were 70% vs 90%, 96% vs 74%, 92% vs 80%, respectively. Conclusion: DCE-MRI and DWI provide more information in differentiating benign from malignant parotid tumors.

Classi Cation

Salivary gland tumors are a heterogeneous group of tumors in the head and neck; most of the malignant tumors have a poor prognosis and limited long-term survival. The recent 2017 WHO classication had made few changes in the sub-categorization and modied some terms. More studies are underway in the eld of molecular level changes and responses to targeted therapies in these tumors. These researches have shown some resemblance in the behavior of salivary gland and breast carcinomas, leading to a new line of thinking in terms of hormonal therapy. This study outlines 14 cases of rare parotid tumors reported in our institute during the time period of 2018 to 2020 and a comprehensive review on salivary gland tumors, newer entities added, and newer treatment strategies.
