Salivary duct carcinoma(SDC) is a highly malignant tumor of the salivary gland. The tumor is clinically characterized by a rapid onset and progression, the neoplasm is often associated with pain and facial paralysis. The nodal recurrence rate is high, and distant metastasis is common. SDC resembles high-grade breast ductal carcinoma. Curative surgical resection and postoperative radiation were the mainstay of the treatment. If facial paralysis is present, a radical parotidectomy is mandatory. Regardless of the primary location of SDC, ipsilateral functional neck dissection is indicated, because regional lymphatic spread has to be expected in the majority of patients already at time of diagnosis. If there is minor gland involvement, a bilateral neck dissection should be performed, because lymphatic drainage may occur to the contralateral side. The survival of SDC patient is poor, with most dying within three years. We experienced a unique case of SDC in parotid deep lobe. We report the clinicopathologic features of this tumor with a review of literature.

The tumor in accessory parotid gland (APG) is rarely occurred and its incidence is about 7.7% of all parotid gland neoplasms, but has a higher frequency of malignancy than major salivary glands. The mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignancy in APG, while B-cell lymphoma is less than 2%. It is often appeared as superficial mass in mid-cheek area. This lesion requires differential diagnosis with epidermoid cyst, lipoma, neurogenic tumors, Stensen's duct stone, lymphadenopathy and hemangioma etc. The mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, which is also termed extra-nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma tends to be localized disease for long time and has a relatively indolent course. We recently encountered a 69-year-old man with superficial solitary mass on the right cheek area that finally diagnosed as MALT lymphoma in APG. We report the rare and unique case with brief literature review.

1859년 Billroth가 부비동에 발생한 종양을 "Zylindrome" 이라고 처음 명명한 이후 cylindroma, basaloma, basaloid adenoma, cribriform adenocarcinoma등으로 일컬어져 왔다. 그러나 최근에는 adenoid Cystic carcinoma라고 널리 사용되고 있다. 이 종양은 주로 두경부의 타액선에서 발생하고 있으나 그외 기관, 폐, 유방, 피부 등에서도 드물게 생긴다고 한다. 이 종양은 근치수술과 같은 광범위한 외과적 절제후에도 국소재발이나 원격전이가 많으며 방사선 치료로서 완전치유는 불가능 하나 종양의 축소와 동통의 소실등 경감치료에 좋은 효과를 보여 주는 것이 그 특징이다. 저자들은 1963년 1월부터 1980년 l2월까지 전주 예수병원에서 진단받은 adenoid cystic carcinoma 44례에 대하여 분석 검토하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 동기간의 두경부 악성종양중 3.8%를 차지하며 타액선 악성종양중 40%였었다. 2) 가장 흔한 원발장소는 구개, 악하선으로 각각 8례이며 그외 상악동이 6례 비강이 5례, 이하선, 설부위가 각각 4례였다. 3) major gland가 13례(31%), minor gland가 29례 (69%)였 다. 4) 성별은 남자 21례, 여자 23례로 남여의 차이는 거의 없었다. 5) 연령빈도는 19세에서 78세 사이로 평균 연령은 50세 였다. 6) 초친시 종양의 크기는 4∼6cm가 10례로 가장 많으며 임상적 경부 임파전이가 7례, 원격전이가 1례 였다. 7) 27례에서 근치수술을 시행 하였으며 이 중 14례는 수술과 방사선 병용 요법을 시행하였다. 8) 추적 관찰이 가능 하였던 29례에서 gross 3-year survival은 27.6%, determinate 3-year survival은 44.4%였다. 이 중 근치수술 받은 12례 있어서 3-year survival rate는 58%였다. 9) 29례중 10례에서 치료후 국소 재발을 보였다. 치료와 국소 재발 간의 기간은 3개월에서 88개월이며 이중 3례는 5년 이후였다. 10) 치료후 원격전이를 보인 것은 3례이며 전이장소는 모두 폐 였다.

Benign salivary gland tumors have relatively lower incidence, but it have various histopathologic diagnosis and biological behavior. Authors analyzed retrospectively 77 patients with benign salivary gland tumor who were treated surgically and had the following results. The most frequent age group was 5th decade, and sex distribution was not specific. The most common location was parotid gland(75.3%) and submandibular gland(20.8%) was next. Histopathologically, the most common salivary gland tumor was pleomorphic adenoma(82.7%) and Warthin's tumor(8.6%) was next. An asymptomatic mass was the most common presentation. Duration of symptoms and signs were mostly under the 5years(90.9%). Diameter of tumors was mostly under 4cm(76.7%). Parotid gland tumors were treated mostly with superficial parotidectomy and submandibular gland tumors were treated mostly with submandibular gland resection. The most common complication was facial nerve palsy(9 cases).

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is a rare type of low-grade malignant tumor that account for approximately 0.5% to 1% of salivary gland neoplasm and arises most commonly in the parotid gland (80%). We introduce three cases of parotid EMC arose as painless cystic mass in male patients over 70 years old. All patients were diagnosed as benign tumors (pleomorphic adenoma) by image and pathologic study (fine needle aspiration) before surgery, but the final histopathologic results were EMC. All three patients underwent parotidectomy without adjuvant radiotherapy. There were no complications such as facial paralysis. No complications or recurrences were observed during follow-up for 6 to 9 months. Since the reports of EMC are still relatively few, we report our three cases with the clinical and pathological review.

Background and Objectives: Salivary gland tumors are relatively rare and constitute 3% to 4% of all head and neck neoplasms. Their relative infrequency, inconsistent classification, and highly variable biologic behavior make some difficulty, but some general features can be drawn regarding the incidence, pathology, and pattern of behavior of the various benign and malignant tumors of salivary glands. The present study aims to provide a clinical characteristics of salivary gland tumors. Materials and Methods: We analyzed retrospectively clinical features of the 138 patients who were treated surgically at Chonbuk National University Hospital from 1992 through 2002. Results: We found 107 benign and 31 malignant tumors. Among the patients, 58 were males and 80 were females. The most common age group was the fifties. The most common site of both benign and malignant was parotid gland in major salivary glands and palatal region in minor salivary glands. The most common presenting symptom was palpable mass in both benign and malignant tumor. Histopathologically, the most common type was pleomorphic adenoma in benign tumor and mucoepidermoid carcinoma in malignant tumor. All cases were treated surgically and the most common postoperative complications was transient facial nerve weakness. Conclusion: 138 cases of salivary gland tumors were presented with respect to their clinical features.

Objectives: Primary malignant tumors in the salivary glands are relatively rare. Because of the rarity and the different histopathologic patterns, it is difficult to establish a uniform treatment strategy. The prime treatment of salivary gland malignancy is the surgery, but the role of radiotherapy has been under debate. Radiation therapy combined with conservative surgical procedures may be as successful and perhaps more rational treatment than radical surgery alone. The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical pattern, incidence, treatment modality and outcome of the salivary gland maligancy. Materials and Methods: The medical records of 32 patients with malignant neoplasm of salivary gland who treated at the Keimyung university Dongsan hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The overall 5 year survival rate was 77.9% stage I : 100%, stage II : 75%, stage III : 66.7%, stage IV : 55.6%). The 5 year survival rate according to tumor grade was 100% in low grade malignancy, 71.8% in high grade malignancy. The 5 year survival rate according to treatment modalities was as follows: Surgery only group was 83.3%, combined treatment group with surgery and posoperative radiation was 74.6%. Conclusion: The factors affecting prognosis is variable, but the stage at the time of diagnosis, site of lesion, tumor grade, histologic subtype were important factors. Surgery was the prime treatment tool and postoperative radiotherapy was also imperative in higher stage patient, high grade tumor, or patients with positive surgical margin.

This review is based on the 52 cases of salivary gland tumors treated at the department of surgerym Hallym University Kangdong Sacred Heart hospital during the period from March 1987 to May 1992. There were 43 benign and 9 malignant tumors. Twenty eight(54%) of these cases were located in the parotid gland, 14(27%) in the submandibular gland, the rest of 10 cases(19%) in the minor salivary glands. Female outnumbered male by the ratio 1.6:1. Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common tumor followed by carcinoma and adenolymphoma(Warthin's tumor). The most common presenting symptom in both benign and malignant tumors was palpable mass. However, some patients with malignancy presented symptoms such as pain, facial palsy and dysphagia. Among 9 cases with malignancies 3 cases were found to have metastasis in the regional lymphnodes and two cases had distant metastasis. In majority of benign parotid tumors, superficial parotidectomy was carried out. In three cases of carcinoma of parotid gland with lymphnode metastasis, total parotidectomy with radical neck dissection was done. One case out of two cases of carcinoma of submandibular gland was treated with total excision of the gland with radical neck dissection. There were no postoperative mortalies. Two cases each of facial palsies and wound infections were observed as complication.

The authors reviewed 114 cases of malignant major and minor salivary gland tumors at Presbyterian Medical Center seen from February, 1963 to December, 1983. The results were obtained as follows; 1) Overall male and female sex ratio was 2:1. The peak age of patients with major and minor salivary gland tumor were both 5 th decade. 2) The ratio of benign and malignant tumor was 83:114. The incidence of malignancy in each group was 52% in parotid (50 patients), 75% in minor salivary gland (45 patients), 49% in submaxillary gland(18 patients) and 25% in sublingual gland (1 patient). 3) The incidence according to the anatomic primary site for minor salivary cancers was 10 cases in the nasal cavity, each 8 in the palate and the maxillary antrum, 7 in the tongue, 5 in the gum, 3 in the larynx and 2 in the buccal mucosa. 4) Adenoid cystic carcinoma was the most common cancer of minor salivary gland and malignant mixed tumor was the most common in major salivary glands, each comprising 34 cases (76%) of minor and 19 cases (28%) of major salivary gland tumors. 5) The incidence of cervical lymph node metastasis was 50% in the submaxillary gland cancers, 44% in the parotid gland cancers and 21% in malignant tumors of minor salivary glands. The highest incidence of lymph node metastasis according to histopathological classification was formed in high grade of mucoepidermoid (67%). 6) Nerve invasion was common in mucoepidermoid carcinoma. According to anatomic site, nerve invasion occurred most often in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the submaxillary gland (44%). 7) The lung was the commonest site for distant metastasis comprising 12 cases among 26 cases in which distant spread occurred. 8) The recurrence rate was 50% for major salivary gland cancer and 52% in cancer of the minor salivary gland. In accordance with pathological classification, adenocarcinoma most frequently recurred after excision. This being seen in 88% of patients undergoing definitive therapy. 9) The determinate 5 year survival rate was 78% in major salivary gland tumors, but 69% in minor salivary gland tumors.
