Microscopic Findings

Sialolithiasis, or salivary calculus, is a disease of the salivary glands, characterized by the formation of mineralized structures within the excretory salivary ducts or the glandular parenchyma. Approximately 80% occur in the submandibular gland, followed by the parotid and sublingual glands. Although rare, sialolithiasis can also occur in the minor salivary glands. Although the oral cavity and upper lip are the most common sites, they can develop in any region of the oral cavity that contains minor salivary glands. Treatment is based on surgical excision of the lesion, with a favorable prognosis. This study presents three cases of sialolithiasis of minor salivary glands of the upper and lower lip, addresses their clinical characteristics and correlation with microscopic findings, diagnosis and treatment plans. Etiology and factors that should be considered during diagnosis, appropriate treatment and improved prognosis are discussed in this study.

Local Surgical Excision

Mucoceles are nonneoplastic cystic lesions of major and minor salivary glands which result from the accumulation of mucus. These lesions are most commonly seen in children. Though usually these lesions can be treated by local surgical excision, in our case, to avoid intraoperative surgical complications like bleeding and edema and to enable better healing, excision was done using a diode laser in the wavelength of 940 nm.

Thirty-four cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the major and minor salivary glands of the oral cavity, treated by wide surgical excision, were studied. The relationship between prognosis of the neoplasm and various morphologic factors were evaluated. Among the morphologic parameters previously studied, which according to various authors may be linked to the evolution of this tumor, we confirmed correlations for both histologic patterns and perineural invasion. In addition, the authors propose neoplastic growth type as a new parameter prognostically significant in ACC. In fact, none of the patients with the pushing type growth pattern died during the study period (p = 0.007). These same patients presented disease-free periods (mean 56 months, median 58 months) significantly longer than those with the infiltrating type growth pattern (mean 28 months, median 24 months).

There are three main pairs of major salivary glands in the head and neck, namely the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual salivary glands. In addition to these major glands there are numerous minor salivary glands distributed throughout the oral cavity. These minor salivary glands are situated in the adnexal layer of the oral mucosa. This chapter covers the relevant anatomy, physiology, taking a history, clinical examination, and investigations. It then goes on to discuss xerostomia, Sjögren’s syndrome, diffuse and localized gland swelling, sialolithiasis, ranula, and disorders of the minor salivary glands.

Recommended Treatment

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.

Complete Surgical Excision

Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of minor salivary glands is an extremely rare entity that has only recently been described, with a few published cases in the English literature. A 42-year-old woman with a history of a surgically excised mucinous cystadenoma of the oral tongue, presented with a painful swelling in the oral tongue slowly growing for 1 month. On clinical examination, there was a firm, relatively well-circumscribed mass in the left posterior border of the mobile tongue. Subsequent MRI scan revealed a heterogeneous lesion composed of multiple cysts separated by contrast enhancing septa, in the posterior two-thirds of the left tongue. Imaging findings were similar to those of the previously resected mass, suggesting local relapse of the primary lesion. A complete surgical excision was performed and the histopathological examination revealed typical features of a low-grade mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of minor salivary glands.

AbstractPleomorphic adenoma is the commonest benign tumour of the major salivary glands. It can also occur in minor salivary glands, mainly in the oral cavity, but also in other sites in the head and neck both within and outwith the upper aerodigestive tract. We present a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma of the nasal septum with consideration of the clinical management and a review of the literature.

AbstractPrimary adenocarcinomas of the oral cavity in minor salivary glands are distinctive lesions which can be subclassified according to their growth patterns or histomorphology. Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) of minor salivary tissue has been recognized as a distinct entity. We report an unusual case of PLGA of the tongue. Only a few previous cases have been reported in the English literature. The treatment is discussed and a review of the current literature concerning this tumour is included.

Background: Teratomas of the oral cavity are rare and can pose danger to a patient's life in terms of obstruction to the aerodigestive tract. These are the germ cell tumors that arise from all three layers of primordial germ cells. Case Presentation: A 2-day-old female neonate presented with a mass protruding from the oral cavity since birth with no significant antenatal history. Examination revealed a large (8 cm), firm, and irregular mass protruding from the oral cavity extending up to the inner surface of the upper lip and onto the gums, associated with cleft palate. Complete excision of the mass was done and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. There were no postoperative complications. Conclusion: Oral cavity teratoma is a rare tumor with a good prognosis especially in its mature form. Surgical excision with multidisciplinary collaboration is needed in order to avoid any complications.
