Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a benign tumor which usually originates from major and minor salivary glands. This tumor arising outside submandibular gland (SMG) is extremely rare. To author's knowledge, only four cases have been reported so far in English literature. Its pathogenesis is still unclear, but it can be explained by embryologic theory of major salivary gland. A 68-year-old man with an incidental mass on left upper lateral neck visited to our clinic. The radiologic findings showed well-margined round mass outside left SMG. The excisional biopsy revealed a pleomorphic adenoma. We report the rare and unique case with a brief literature review.

Pleomorphic adenoma(benign mixed tumor) is the most common tumor of the major salivary glands, constituting approximately 70 per cent of benign tumors of these glands. The term mixed tumor was introduced in the nineteenth century to stress the dual origin of this neoplasm from epithelial and mesenchymal elements, and the designation pleomorphic adenoma is preferred because it emphasizes both the epithelial origin and the variety of histological patterns found in this common salivary gland lesion. Rauch, in a review of 4245 pleomorphic adenomas, found 92.5 per cent in the major salivary glands and 6.5 per cent in the minor salivary glands, 8 per cent arose in the submandibular glands, and in another large series of over 6,000 cases, approximately 4 per cent arose in the hard and soft palates with equal frequency in each. The prognosis of pleomorphic adenoma depends more upon the choice and adequacy of treatment than upon histological appearances. The accepted treatment for this tumor is excision. With adequate surgery recurrence rates of less than 1 per cent can be obtained. In this hospital, I experienced two patients who were identified PMA which occurred in the hard palate and submandibular gland. The lesions were successfully treated by surgery.

Acinic cell carcinoma(ACC) is the third common malignancy in major salivary gland. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a useful tool for the diagnosis of salivary gland lesions. However, some low grade malignancies, such as ACC and mucoepidermoid carcinoma show relatively high false negative rate, mainly due to deceptively benign cytomorphologic appearance. We experienced a papillary-cystic variant of ACC, having different cytopathologic features compared with those of classic ACC. Our case showed monolayered sheets and papillary clusters without any acinic structures or naked nuclei of the tumor cells. Foamy proteinaceous material was seen in the background. The tumor cells had a large amount of granular cytoplasm and eccentric nuclei. Many vacuolated or clear cells were also noted.

Background and Objectives: Thunderbeat (TB) and Harmonic scalpel (HS) have been applied to variable head and neck surgery, which are useful for both coagulation and cutting of tissues. However, there have been no comparative studies covering the usefulness of these energy devices in surgery for major salivary gland. In this study, we analyzed the surgical outcomes of two devices in surgery for parotidectomy and submandibular gland (SMG) resection. Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review of 90 patients including two groups (HS group, n=45 versus TB group, n=45) of patients matched for their patient factors was conducted. Clinicopathologic factors of the patients and surgical outcomes such as the operation time, intraoperative bleeding, amount and duration of drain, hospital stay and complications were compared between two groups. Results: There were no significant difference between two groups regarding the clinicopathologic factors and short-term surgical outcomes. Conclusion: Thunderbeat and HS are both effective and safe for parotidectomy and SMG resection in variable benign disease of major salivary gland.

There are major and minor salivary glands that aid in the digestive process. Major glands are discrete and exist in predictable locations; minor salivary glands are more widespread and usually found dispersed in the mucosa of the mouth. Glands have their own contractile abilities, which allow them to secrete products without the assistance of vasculature or skeletal, or smooth muscle. This study will describe a cadaveric histological specimen in which an ectopic buccal gland was embedded within bucinator muscle fibers. Potential causes and explanations for this finding will be discussed, as well.

Salivary gland tumors take possession of almost 5% in head and neck malignancies. Among these, mucoepidermoid carcinoma(MEC) is most common malignany in major salivary glands(12-29%) and the parotid gland is most predilection site. Intra-oral MEC has a tendency to various locations, and the predilection sites are palate, cheek, mandible, lip and tongue in order of frequency. A few cases of MEC are occurred in with retromolar trigone, oropharynx, and ectopic salivary gland. Recently, we experienced a-65-year old woman with retromolar trigonal mass, and she was finally diagnosed as MEC. We report it with review of literature.

Salivary duct carcinoma is rare high grade adenocarcinoma, arising from larger excretory duct in major salivary gland, resembling the ductal carcinoma of the breast histologically. We report a case of salivary duct carcinoma of left parotid gland in which fine needle aspiration cytology was performed. Cytologic examination revealed 1) moderate cellularity, 2) flat sheets or three dimensional, tightly cohesive clusters on the necrotic background, 3) sometimes cribriform or papillary configuration, 4) polygonal or cuboidal cells with moderate anisonucleosis with abundant, granular and eosinophilic cytoplasm, 5) round to oval nuclei with irregular chromatin clumps, and 6) 1 or 2 inconspicuous nucleoli. Histologically, the tumor is mainly composed of cribriform intraductal component with central comedonecrosis, and small foci of infiltrating component including well differentiated ductal structures or irregular sheets in a desmoplastic stroma.

최근 7년간 저자들이 치험한 소타액선 종양 26례에 대하여 임상양상과 치료 결과를 분석하여 다음과 같은 성적을 얻었다. 1) 발생부위를 구개 10례 (38.5%), 비강 및 부비동 8례 (30.8%), 설근부 2례 (7.7%), 협부 점막 2례 (7.7%), 구순 1례(3.8%), 후두개곡 1례(3.8%), 구강저 1례(3.8%), 비인강 1례(3.8%)이었다. 2) 병리조직학적 소견은 양성 종양 10례, 악성종양 16례이었으며, 양성 종양은 전례가 다형성선종이었으며, 구개에서 6례로 가장 많았고, 악성종양은 비강 및 부비동 5례로 가장 많았으며, 선양낭성암종 9례, 악성혼합종 2례, 점액표피암종 2례, 다형성선암종 2례, 상피근상피성암 1례이었다. 악성화율은 61.5%이었다. 3) 치료는 양성 종양은 모두 적출술을 시행하였고 악성 종양은 광범위 적출술 4례(25.0%), 수술 및 방사선요법의 병합요법 9례(45.2%), 항암화학요법 및 방사선요법의 병합요법 1례(5.25%), 방사선 요법 2례(12.3%)등을 시행하였다. 4) 악성 종양에 대한 치료 결과는 근치적 치료를 시행한 8례에서는 무병생존 6례, 유병생존 1례, 유병사망 1례를 보였으며, 고식적 치료를 시행한 6례에서는 유병생존 2례, 유병사망 4례를 보였다. 이상의 성적에서 소타액선 종양은 대타액선 종양에 비하여 악성화 비율이 높고 선양낭성암종의 발생 빈도가 높아 그 침범 부위를 정확히 파악하는 것이 치료에 많은 도움을 줄 수 있으며, 고식적 치료의 범위를 확대하여 보다 적극적인 치료가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Tumors rarely arise in the sublingual salivary glands. They should be considered malignant until proved otherwise. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is most commonly encountered malignant tumor of the sublingual gland. We report a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma arising from the sublingual gland. Moreover, the sublingual gland had anatomic variation of main duct(Bartholin's duct) which is connected to Wharton's duct.

Cystadenocarcinoma of salivary gland is an rare, slow-growing, low-grade malignant neoplasm characterized by cysts and papillary endocystic projections. Major locations of this tumor are parotid glands, and minor salivary glands, while occurrence in submandibular gland is extremely rare. Only few cases have been reported in the literatures. Cystadenicarcinoma behaves in an indolent manner and recurrence is rarely occured, surgical complete excision is considered treatment of choice. We experienced a case of cystadenocarcinoma arising from submandibular gland, so we report this case with a review of literature.
