Rare Site

The aim of this case report is to present as case of plasmacytoid at ectopic minor salivary gland in the neck which is a rare neoplasm with uncommon presentation of site. Usually it is a tumor of major salivary gland and more common in parotid gland and less common in the minor salivary gland of the oral cavity predominantly in palate. Here authors are discussing a case of 10-year-old female who presented in our institute with complain of swelling over right mid cervical region which was clinically suspected as reactive cervical lymph node. Patient was evaluated further and cytologically diagnosed as a case of plasmacytoid myoepithelioma. It was also confirmed as a case of plasmacytoid myoepithelioma after histopathology and immunohistochemistry studies. Plasmacytoid myoepithelioma at ectopic minor salivary gland site in the neck is uncommon presentation and only a limited number of cases have been reported in literature.

Rare Case Report

Polycystic (dysgenetic) disease of the salivary glands is a rare entity that has only recently been described in the literature. The disease is more commonly seen in females and majority of the cases have presented as bilateral parotid gland swellings. This case presenting in a 21-year-old male is the first of this unusual entity involving solely the minor salivary gland on the lower lip. This case report highlights the importance for the clinician to be aware of this differential diagnosis, when treating an innocuous lesion like a mucocele.

Rare Case Report

ABSTRACT Filariasis is endemic worldwide with the main focus in the tropical areas. Reported cases of filarial lymphadenopathy are caused by Wuchereria bancrofti, which is limited to the groin, the femoral triangle, and axilla, causing lymphedema of lower and upper limbs, and is usually diagnosed clinically and by the presence of microfilaria in peripheral blood smear. We are reporting an unusual case of cervical lymphadenitis, which on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) showed microfilaria of a rare species, Brugia malayi. The purpose of this article is to make clinicians aware of this rare disease as one of the differential diagnoses of cervical lymphadenopathy in an endemic country like India.

AbstractObjective:This paper reports the case of a 13-year-old girl with a 2-year history of left cervical lymph node swelling that was diagnosed as metastatic cribriform adenocarcinoma of the tongue and minor salivary gland.Case report:A 13-year-old girl with a left, level II cervical lymph node underwent excisional biopsy after an ultrasound suggested suspicious features. The histology indicated polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma, and a primary lesion in the left palate was identified. The patient underwent left maxillectomy, neck dissection and reconstruction. Histological analysis of resection specimens led to a revised diagnosis of cribriform adenocarcinoma of the tongue and minor salivary gland.Conclusion:Cribriform adenocarcinoma of the tongue and minor salivary gland has recently been described as a separate entity to polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma in light of histological and behavioural differences, including higher rates of metastasis at presentation. This is the first report in the world literature of an adolescent with this entity. It is possible that some previous reports of polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma in childhood would have been more accurately described as cribriform adenocarcinoma of the tongue and minor salivary gland.
