Review Of The Literature

ABSTRACT Myoepitheliomas are rare benign neoplasms of salivary glands representing less than 1% of all salivary gland tumors. This tumor is usually located in the parotid gland and less frequently in the submandibular gland and minor salivary glands that are distributed throughout the oral cavity. Diagnosis of tumor is based on evaluation of histological feature, although immunohistochemical analysis confirms the myoepithelial origin of tumor cells and the final diagnosis. Herein, a case of plasmacytoid myoepithelioma of soft palate in an adult male is presented along with review of the literature. How to cite this article Yogee AN, Choudhary R, Mathur N, Bhuie HS.

ABSTRACT Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of the salivary glands and has both epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. It most commonly arises from the parotid or submandibular glands. Rarely, it arises from the minor salivary glands. We report here a case of pleomorphic adenoma arising from the soft palate and both sides of anterior tonsillar pillars in a 75-year-old man. This patient was presenting painless slow growing large swelling in the soft palate over 20 years causing mechanical obstruction of airway and food. The entire tumor mass was excised along with overlying mucosa. How to cite this article Swain SK, Sahu MC, Tripathy R.

ABSTRACT Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is a malignancy arising predominantly from minor salivary glands. PLGAs account for 10% of all tumors and 25% of all malignancies of the minor salivary glands. It has been frequently described as occurring in hard or soft palate minor salivary glands; some cases being described in the tongue and in major salivary glands. We report a case of PLGA of the palate extending into the maxillary sinus and nasal cavity diagnosed on the basis of histopathology and treated by subtotal maxillectomy. The review of literature concerning clinical, histological and immunohistochemical features, as well as the proper management concerning this tumor is included.

Sialolithiasis is the formation of calcific concretions within the parenchyma or ductal system of the major or minor salivary glands, but it most commonly affects the submandibular salivarygland. Sialolithiasis usually occurs in adults aged 30 to 60 years and causes pathognomonicpain during meals. The treatment of sialolithiasis depends on the size and location of thecalculi. In this article we present a case report of giant sialolith in the submandibular salivary duct and review of literature of various diagnostic and treatment aspects.

Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is a rare tumour that mostly affects oral minor salivary glands. Our review of the literature found that there are only two reported cases of PLGA originating in the nasopharynx. Another nasopharyngeal PLGA in a 14-year-old boy is reported, focusing on the histopathological features and ultrastructural findings.
