병변의 양상에 따른 감별진단 재발성 이하선 종대를 보이는 경우 타액선조영술이 영상진단방법중 1차적인 선택이 된다. Stensen 씨관이나 중심선관(central glandular duct)의 확장을 보이는 경우 만성 타액선염으로 진단할 수 있다. 소아에서의 단일성 양성종괴의 감별진단은 임파절, 혈관종, 양성혼합종양, 저급점액상피암, 임파관종 등이다. 성인에서의 단일성, 양성으로 관찰되는 종괴는 양성혼합종양, Warthin씨 종양, 저급점액상피암, 선상낭성암, 소포상세포암 등이다. 여러개의 종괴를 보이는 경우 Warthin씨 종양, 소포상세포암, 임파종, 육아종, 전이암 등이며 단일성 낭성종괴의 경우는 branchial cleft cyst,, Warthin씨 종양, 상피낭포 등이다.

Lymphoid infiltration can be seen in some lesions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, subacute thyroiditis and several neoplasm of the thyroid. In case of malignancy, there are a few reports of lymphoid infiltration in the diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary carcinoma. But heavy lymphoid infiltraton without evidence of sclerosis is uncommon. We experienced a case of papillary oxyphilic carcinoma with massive lymphoid infiltration, which looks like Warihin tumor of salivary gland. However cytological feature of epithelial cells exhibit that of papillary carcinoma.

Actinomycosis is an unusual granulomatous infection caused by gram-positive anaerobic bacteria called Actinomyces species(predominantly Actinomyces israelii), which is a common and normally nonpathogenic organism found in the nose and throat. The three major clinical presentations of actinomycosis include the cervico-facial(the most common, 55%), thoracic, and abdominopelvic region. Actinomycosis typically has a chronic, indolent course characterized by swelling and induration of the soft tissues and eventual spontaneous drainage through multiple sinus tracts. Actinomycosis is difficult to diagnose because of variable presentation mimicking neoplasm and fastidious nature of the organism in culture. We present a case of actinomycosis in the parotid tip area which was mistaken for a salivary tumor.

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia(Kimura's disease) is a relatively uncommon chronic benign disorder of unknown etiology, predominantly in the head and neck region and associated with lymphadenopathy or salivary gland enlargement. The treatment options are still controversial including medical therapy, surgery, and radiation. Kimura's disease of bilateral postauricular involvement has rarely been reported. We report a male patient with sequentially developed Kimura's disease involving the bilateral postauricular region and was treated by combined surgical excision and steroid therapy.

Hirudin, a 65-amino acid protein isolated from the salivary gland of the bloodsucking leech, Hirudo medicinalis, is a potent thrombin-specific inhibitor and blocks the thrombin-mediated conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin in clot formation. We have studied the gene expression and secretion of hirudin in yeast. Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A gene coding for hirudin was synthesized based on the amino acid sequence and cloned into a yeast expression vector $YEG{\alpha}-1$ containing the ${\alpha}-mating$ factor pre-pro leader sequence and galactose-inducible promoter, GALl0. Recombinant S. cerevisiae was found to secrete biologically active hirudin into the extracellular medium. The secreted recombinant hirudin was recovered from the culture medium and purified with ultrafiltration and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. Approximately 1 mg of hirudin per liter was produced under suboptimal culture conditions and brought to about 90% purity in two steps of purification.

Primary adenoid cystic carcioma of trachea is rare, with an incidence of only 0.2 per 100,000 persons per year. When all series of the tracheal carcinomas are combined, adenoid cystic carcinoma is the second most common tumor only to squamous cell carcinoma in incidence. Most patients have wheezing or stridor, dyspnea, hemoptysis, and cough as symptoms. Treatment options include surgery alone, radiation therapy alone, or a combination of both. The recommended surgical option is primary tracheal resection and reconstruction. Recently, we experienced a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma in 45 year old female patient who was treated tracheal tumor resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the trachea, so we report this case with the literatures.

The glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a rare cyst derived from odontogenic epithelium with a spectrum of characteristics including salivary gland features. It occurs more commonly in the mandible and most often in the anterior mandible. Radiographically, most cases present a well-defined unilocular or multilocular radiolucency with a cortical boundary. Despite no unique or pathognomonic clinical or radiographic features, the lesion shows potentially aggressive behavior. A 76-year-old male was referred to Gangneung-Wonju National University Dental Hospital with a chief complaint of slight swelling of the right mandible. Cone-beam computed tomography examination revealed a unilocular radiolucent lesion involving impacted third molar at the right posterior mandible. Slight lingual cortical thinning with suspected perforation was also shown. Histopathologically, multiple areas of cyst epithelium showed a glandular differentiation, resulting in mucoid-filled secretory cells and microcyst. Based on these findings, the final diagnosis was determined to be GOC.

A 45-year-old man presented with fatigue and weight loss underwent a Tc-99m MDP bone scan because of increased serum alkaline phosphatase. Delayed images at 4 hours demonstrated diffuse increased activity throughout both lobes of the thyroid in the absence of activity of the stomach and salivary glands. Thyroid laboratory indices and a Tc-99m pertechnetate thyroid scan suggested Graves' hyperthyroidism.

The experimental female rats were ovariectomized and after 14day, they were injected intramuscullarly with estrogen of single dose, 2/100gm body weight. After hormone injection, the animals were sacrificed by ether inhalation, the salivary glands were removed for microscopic examination and the histochemical preparations were observed. The results were as followed; In the submaxillary gland of ovariectomized rats, the acinar cells have lesser PAS reactivity than control group, and-SH group reaction were slight. In the estrogen injected-ovariectomized rats, aciner cells and striated duct cells have high reactivities for PAS, and-SS and SH group reaction were more increased than control group.
