A seven-year-old boy presented with a painless swelling of the right submandibular salivary gland for 1 year. The submandibular swelling was not associated with any calculus. Right submandibular sialo adenectomy done. Surprisingly the histopathology came as Warthin’s tumour. Warthin’s tumour mostly occurs in parotid gland in older age group. Because of the rare occurrence of this tumour in a young boy in extra parotid location, the case is reported.

AbstractThe synchronous or metachronous occurrence of two tumours of the salivary glands in one patient is rare. These are mainly benign and of the same histological type. Here we report a 56-year-old man who developed a mucoepidermoid tumour of the left parotid gland four years after diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the right submandibular gland. This combination of neoplasms has not to our knowledge been reported before.

Hypoglossal Schwannoma

Hypoglossal nerve schwannomas originating extracranially and mimicking a submandibular salivary gland tumour are extremely rare. A 55-year-old woman presented with a painless, gradually increasing swelling in the right submandibular region for the past 1 year. Fine-needle aspiration cytology and contrast-enhanced CT of the swelling showed features of submandibular gland malignant lesion. Intraoperatively, the right submandibular gland with a hypoglossal nerve swelling was noticed. Right submandibular gland along with the hypoglossal swelling were excised with adequate margins. However, the postoperative histopathology was reported as hypoglossal nerve schwannoma and a normal salivary gland. Accurate preoperative diagnosis of hypoglossal schwannomas may be challenging. A high level of suspicion must be sought for in cases with unusual clinical presentations and imaging characteristics. Herein, we report a rare presentation of submandibular hypoglossal schwannoma along with its clinical features and its management.

Gland Tumour

Plexiform neurofibromas in major salivary glands are rarely described. In the literature, most reported tumours have been present in the parotid gland region. A three-year-old boy with a family history of neurofibromatosis presented with a rapidly growing left submandibular mass. The clinical diagnosis was that of a neurofibroma rather than a primary salivery gland tumour. Resection of the lesion revealed a plexiform neurofibroma involving the submandibular gland. Although these tumours have a neurogenic rather than a salivary gland origin, they must be considered in the differential diagnosis of a salivary gland lesion in a patient with a history of neurofibromatosis.

The significance of asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss (ASNHL) is due to a special approach to diagnosis, followed by the process of hearing aids and auditory rehabilitation. Currently, there is no standard audiometric criterion for determining the forms of asymmetry, which significantly affects the assessment of the prevalence of ASNHL. The study aimed to assess the prevalence and classification of ASNHL forms in the older age group using two methods of calculation: 1) the difference in the average hearing threshold at speech frequencies (in the range of 0,5–4 kHz) ≥15 dB was detected in 14,14% of cases; 2) the different degree of hearing loss, according to the International classification, in the right and left ear was 35,98%. In most cases, asymmetry was manifested by bilateral sensorineural hearing loss of varying severity, prevailing in the group of long-livers – 82,6%. Given the potentially high prevalence of asymmetry depending on the audiological criterion, the results of the work are a reason for further research in the development of a unified method for verifying a clinically significant form of ASNHL.

Sebaceous Lymphadenoma

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a rarely encountered extramedullary localized tumor that is composed of immature myeloid cells. We reported an extremely rare case of MS with concurrent bone marrow (BM) involvement that invaded into a preexisting sebaceous lymphadenoma in the parotid gland and neck lymph nodes. Prompted by this case, we also present a literature review of MS invasion into salivary glands. A 62-year-old man was initially diagnosed with carcinoma that arose in a sebaceous lymphadenoma in the parotid gland, through a total parotidectomy with neck dissection. After an extensive histopathological review that included immunohistochemistry, a pathologic diagnosis of MS with infiltration into the sebaceous lymphadenoma with concurrent BM involvement was confirmed. MS is difficult to diagnose accurately; herein, we analyzed the clinical presentations and effectiveness of the various diagnostic methods with a review of the literature. There are 17 cases, including our case, reported in 13 studies. Of the cases in which the salivary glands were affected, 10 involved the parotid gland, six involved the submandibular gland, and one involved both. Isolated invasion of the salivary gland was found in one case of parotid gland invasion and three cases of submandibular gland invasion. In 13 cases, the salivary glands were affected by various other lesions. Although there were no incidences of isolated MS, six patients were diagnosed with secondary MS and eight patients with MS with BM involvement, including this case. The diagnosis of MS is difficult given its rarity, and a high index of suspicion and integrated radiologic and careful histopathologic evaluation are required. Most cases of MS infiltrating the salivary gland might be indicated by the possibility of BM involvement. MS with BM involvement predicts poor prognosis and the need for intensive systemic treatment.

Objective To assess the diagnostic accuracy of fine-needle biopsy (FNB) of salivary gland neoplasms via ultrasound (US) or palpation guidance by an otolaryngologist in a community practice. Study Design Retrospective chart review. Setting Community otolaryngology practice. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted for all office-based salivary gland FNBs from a community practice from 2005 through 2018. There were 433 FNBs performed among 370 patients. The likelihood of achieving a diagnostic result based on method (US vs palpation guidance) was calculated. Of this cohort, 196 cases had surgical follow-up (parotid gland, n = 168; submandibular gland, n = 28). Correlation of preoperative FNB results to final surgical pathology was performed and measures of diagnostic accuracy computed. Results US-guided FNBs were more likely to achieve a diagnostic result than FNBs obtained via palpation guidance ( P = .00002). Parotid gland FNBs demonstrated a sensitivity and specificity of 78.57% and 92.44%, respectively. Submandibular FNBs demonstrated a sensitivity and specificity of 57.14% and 93.74%. Conclusion FNBs performed under US guidance are more likely to achieve a diagnostic specimen than those performed under palpation guidance. FNBs of parotid gland tumors may be assessed with diagnostic accuracy in the community setting that is similar to that achieved at tertiary care centers. Further research is needed to ascertain whether this finding extends to FNBs of submandibular gland tumors. Offering this procedure at point of care in the community may improve compliance and reduce wait time.

OBJECTIVE: To provide a description of surface electromyography (sEMG) of spontaneous saliva swallowing (SSS) and monitoring of swallow rate in patients with salivary gland diseases. STUDY DESIGN: Numbers of SSS obtained during 2 hours of sEMG monitoring were compared with sialometry data for healthy volunteers (n = 100), patients with Sjögren syndrome (n = 10), and patients after parotid gland (n = 15) and submandibular gland (n = 16) surgery. RESULTS: Normative: 1 SSS every 2 minutes and 15 seconds; Sjögren: 1 SSS every 13 minutes ( P < 0.001); parotid gland surgery: 1 SSS every 3 minutes and 24 seconds ( P = 0.26); submandibular gland surgery: 1 SSS every 5 minutes and 04 seconds ( P < 0.05). Sjögren patients and patients after submandibular surgery had hyposalivation correlated with less SSS. CONCLUSION: The established normal rate of SSS makes this modality applicable for evaluating salivary flow for potentially identifying and ruling out abnormalities. Parotid gland surgery does not significantly affect salivary flow rate. Sialometry combined with sEMG monitoring give a clinician more reliable data to evaluate salivary gland disorders than sialometry alone. EBM RATING: B-2

AbstractA rare variant of the cystadenoma of salivary gland origin is presented, which occurred in the parotid of a 36-year-old, otherwise healthy female patient. The tumour showed a dense follicle-containing lymphoid stroma, resembling papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (Warthin's tumour). In contrast to that, the epithelial lining gave a more irregular impression and oncocytic metaplasia were completely absent. Light microscopic and immunohistochemical features of the tumour are described and compared with those of classical cystadenoma and papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (Warthin's tumour). Other relevant multicystic epithelial parotid lesions, which are commonly associated with a prominent lymphoid component are discussed.

Submandibular Gland Excision

Treatment of salivary stones includes both surgical and non-surgical techniques. Surgical approaches range from excision of the sialolith, for those near the duct orifice, to removal of the affected salivary gland and its associated duct, for stones near the hilum of the gland. We present a case of two sialoliths triggering an acute infection in a residual Wharton's duct, 12 years after the removal of the associated submandibular gland. Excision of the sialoliths and treatment of the infected duct via sialodochoplasty was successfully performed in this patient. If the Wharton's duct is not removed with the associated submandibular gland, the potential for infection and continuous growth of dormant calcifications exists. We also address the aetiology, pathogenesis, and management of patients with sialolithiasis in the absence of a major salivary gland.
