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.

BACKGROUND Salivary gland swellings are one of the common presenting symptoms in the outpatient department. These swellings are referred to the pathology department for determining the exact nature of the lesion to reach a diagnosis. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) of the salivary gland and diagnosis of the disease represents one of the most challenging areas in cytopathology. FNAC is widely used for preoperative diagnosis of many swellings and masses, including salivary gland lesions. It is a cost-effective, safe and straightforward procedure that provides valuable information for planning appropriate management. The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy and cytological spectrum of FNA of salivary gland lesions done over a fixed period in Government Medical College / Government General Hospital, Anantapuramu. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Pathology of Government Medical College / Government General Hospital, Anantapuramu, during the period January 2017 to December 2019. Patients with suspected salivary gland enlargements, who were referred for FNAC, were included in this study. FNAs of 80 patients were studied in the present study. FNAC was performed by using a 10 mL syringe with a 23 g needle. Smears were stained by using the H & E stain (Haematoxylin and Eosin). The data collected was entered into an Excel sheet and analysed. Chi-square and p-value were calculated using Open Epi software. RESULTS Cytology slides prepared were studied, interpreted, and the diagnosis made was analysed. Out of the 80 FNAC salivary gland lesions, 44 were non-neoplastic lesions, and 36 were neoplastic lesions. Of the non-neoplastic lesions, chronic sialadenitis was predominant (30), and among the neoplastic lesions, pleomorphic adenoma cases were dominant, accounting for 30 cases. In our study, the most common major salivary gland involved was the parotid gland. CONCLUSIONS FNAC of the salivary gland lesion is a simple, safe, rapid, cost-effective, convenient, harmless, well-tolerated procedure by patients, and it remains an accurate method for the diagnosis of salivary gland lesion for pathologists and physicians. Our study reflected a varied spectrum of lesions in patients referred for FNAC for the diagnosis of swellings of salivary glands.

<p>Pleomorphic Adenoma is a benign epithelial tumor arising from the salivary gland. It is a benign mixed tumor composed of epithelial and myoepithelial cells arranged with various morphological patterns, demarcated from surrounding tissues by fibrous capsule. In this article, we report an unusual case of 30 year, male with a single, nodular swelling evident in the upper lip which was discovered during a routine dental procedure. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) was planned for the patient, where a of cytological diagnosis of Pleomorphic Adenoma was rendered, which was confirmed by biopsy. Hence, this highlights, FNAC makes up an important diagnosing tool as the first line of investigation to distinguish between benign and malignant salivary gland neoplasms.</p>

Salivary gland tumours make an important part of oral & maxillofacial pathology. Only few studies have been done in Pakistani population. The aim of this study was to describe morphological types of salivary gland tumours diagnosed at King Edward Medical College/ Mayo Hospital, Lahore during the years 1999-2001 and to compare their demographic data with those previously published. Material & Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at King Edward Medical College/ Mayo Hospital, Lahore. It reports 117 cases of salivary gland tumours diagnosed at Pathology Department during 1999-2001. Results: Of the 128 specimens of salivary glands, 117(91.4%) were confirmed as salivary neoplasms. Out of them, 62.7% were benign and 37.6% malignant and a slight female predominance (58.1%) was found. The most common location was the parotid gland (65.8%) followed by minor salivary glands (19.6%). Majority oft he t tumours was diagnosed during 3rd to 5 decades of life. Median age for benign tumours was 33 years (range 1-78) and a female predominance (58.9%) was seen again. Median age for malignant neoplasms was 45 years (range 9-70) with a female predilection ( 56.8%). However, 4 out o f 5 patients with Warthin`s tumour were men. Pleomorphic adenoma was the most frequent tumour (51.3%), followed by mucoepidermoid carcinoma (25.6%), adenoid cystic carcinoma (7.7)), Warthin`s tumour (4.3%) and monomorphic adenoma (2.6%). Two cases each of oncytoma & adenocarcinoma were recorded. Rare categories (single case each) of salivary tumours included lipoma, acinic cell carcinoma, basal cell adenoma, capillary haemangioma, metastatic carcinoma and non Hodgkin`s lymphoma. Conclusion: The principal site of salivary tumours was the parotid gland and females were most affected. Pleomorphic adenoma was the most frequent finding. The results of this study are comparable with other studies.

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.

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.

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.
