The solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm that is described as spindle-shaped tumor cells on a collagenous background originating from pleural tissues. Recently, extrapleural SFT has been reported in nearly all sites, including the sublingual gland, parotid gland, nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Complete surgical excision is primary treatment for SFT, but diagnosing SFT is not often made until immunohistochemical evaluation after surgical resection. We report that the patient, 45-year-old male, was considered as a case of inflammation polyp arising from left nasal cavity with initial biopsy, however, it has turned out to be SFT after surgical treatment.

Backgroud and Objectives: Major salivary gland tumor is a rare disease with a largely unknown origin. And also corresponding to the diversity of histopathologic characteristics is an equally wide distribution of clinical behavior that makes treatment decisions difficult. The aim of this study is to analysis the clinical experience of our major salivary gland tumor and to suggest a guidline of management. Materials and Methods : We studied clinical manifestations and treatment results of 104 patients who were diagnosed as major salivary gland tumors. Tumor site, patient age and sex of the patients were analysed. Histopathologic diagnosis, treatment modality, lymph nodes metastasis, recurrence rate and 5-year survival rate were studied on malignant tumors. Results: 1) 48 patients were male and 56 patients were female. 2) Benign tumors were 79 cases. They consisted of 57 cases(72%) of parotid tumor, 22 cases(27%) of submandibular tumor. And pleomorphic adenoma was the most common benign tumor. 3) Malignant tumors were 25 cases and were consisted of 19 cases(76%) of parotid tumor, 4 cases(l6%) of submandibular tumor and 2 cases(8%) of sublingual gland tumor with high-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma as the most common cause. 4) In the malignant tumors, the number of stage I, II tumors was 14 and that of stage III, IV tumors was 11. Neck node metastasis was noted in 8 cases. 5) 8 cases of malignant tumor were died and all of them had high-grade malignancy. And they were dead before 17 months from the time of diagnosis. 6) Mean survival duration in the malignant salivary gland tumor was 56 months. 7) High-grade malignancy had a 5-year survival rate of 57.9%. A 5-year survival rate of TI, T2 patients was 92.9% and that of T3, T4 patients was 36.4%. That of patients who had neck node metastasis was 37.5% and that of those who had tree neck was 82.4%. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the survival rate is dependent on the tumor size, lymph node matastasis and histologic grade. And also the early diagnosis and radical surgery result in the increased survival rate and are effective for prevention of the tumor recurrance.

This is a case report of calcifying aponeurotic fibroma occurred in the right pterygopalatine fossa & ramus area accompanied by adenoid cystic carcinoma of the right sublingual gland of a 44-year-old female. Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma is benign tumor, but it is characterized by poorly marginated, infiltrated growth pattern and a stubborn tendency to local recurrence, but there is no record of malignant transformation or metastasis, and surgical management should be conservative(excision and reexcision). Most cases been reported at the hands and feet, but no reported case occuring in the head region is found in the literature. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a slow-growing infiltrative tumor with high recurrence rate, and it's treatment requires radical excisin and radiotherapy. Wide surgical excision of tumor, RND and partial resection of mandible were done. And then, immediate mandibular reconstruction was performed by means of reimplantaion technique after autoclaving of the resected bone.

We investigated the culture condition and effects of various growth factors on the culture of salivary gland acinar cells. Male, Sprague-Dawley rats (about 6 weeks old) were sacrificed and their submandibular, sublingual, and parotid glands were used as specimens. High oxygen level more than 90% and coating of Matrigel on culture dish were important factors to help increase the survival time of acinar cells, Proper concentration of enzymes such as collagenase and hyaluronidase during isolation steps was also important. Addition of various growth factors such as dexamethasone, insulin, transferrin, selenous acid, reduced glutathione, epidermal growth factor, isoproterenol, and putrescine in culture medium helped to increase lifetime of cultured salivary acinar cells.

Neurilemmomas are well-encapsulated, benign, slow-growing tumors originating from Schwann cells of the nerve sheath surrounding cranial, peripheral, or autonomic nerves. Intraoral neurilemmomas are relatively rare and have a wide variety of morphologic and radiologic features. This makes differential diagnosis difficult, and only histopathological features can lead to a definitive neurilemmoma diagnosis. In this report, we present the case of a 30-year-old woman whose chief complaint was a solitary, nodular mass on the right floor of the mouth. After computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, we performed an incisional biopsy that showed the typical characteristics of a neurilemmoma. The mass was removed completely through an intraoral surgical approach. Despite losing a portion of the lingual nerve, the patient did not complain of any specific discomfort. Wound healing was uneventful and there were no signs or symptoms of recurrence.

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor in salivary glands, and occurred in frequency of 60% in parotid gland tumors, and 50% in submandibular gland tumors, and 25% in sublingual gland tumors. Histopathologically, pleomorphic adenoma is composed of epithelial cells and mesenchymal tissues, and called 'mixed tumor' because of morphological divergency. The cell structures of luminal area are composed of polyhedral and cuboidal secretory epithelial cells and modified myoepithelial cells around it, and mesenchymal tissue is composed of some myoepithelial cells and stromal tissue. In stromal tissue, myxoid change, chondroid change, or hyalinization can be seen even if bone tissue. In many studies, tumor cells of pleomorphic adenoma containing modified myoepithelial cell participate in synthesis of glycosaminoglycans. In this study, tissue sample of pleomorphic adenoma of human salivary gland were obtained from 20 surgical specimens, and all specimens were routinely fixed in 10% formalin and embedded. Serial 4-8${\mu}m$ thick sections were cut from paraffin blocks. The histopathologic evaluation was done with light microscopy. And, with immunohistochemical staining, characteristics of glycosaminoglycan were observed. And, for biochemical analysis of glycosaminoglycan, isolation of crude glycosaminoglycan from tumor tissue and immuno-blot analysis were carried out. With transmission electromicroscopy, tumor cells and biologic behavior of pleomorphic adenoma were observed with distribution and expression of glycosaminoglycan in tumor cells, The results were obtained as follows: 1. In immunohistochemical study, chondroitin 4-sulfate is highly postively stained in myxoid stromal tissue, and chondroitin 6-sulfate is highly positively stained in chondroid mesenchymal tissue, both glycosaminoglycans are positively stained in non-luminal cell of ductal area. 2. Dermatan sulfate and keratan sulfate is positively stained in periductal non-luminal tumor cells. 3. In immunohistochemical study, heparan sulfate is weakly stained in luminal cells and non-luminal cells around duct, and chondroid mesenchymal tissue. 4. In transmission electromicroscopic view, the tumor cells are composed of modified myoepithelial cells, and contain many microfilaments and well developed rough endoplasmic reticulum. 5. In Immuno-Blot analysis, the expression of glycosaminoglycans is expressed mostly in chondroitin 6-sulfate and chondroitin 4-sulfate. From the results obtained in this study, tumor cells of pleomorphic adenoma are composed of modified myoepithelial cells, and glycosaminoglycans of chondroitin 4-sulfate and chondroitin 6-sulfate mostly participate in the development of pleomorphic adenoma, but dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate and heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans were expressed variably.

Background/Objectives: Adenoid cystic carcinoma is the second most common salivary carcinoma. It occurs commonly in the submandibular gland, sublingual gland and minor salivary gland. Local recurrence and distant metastasis are the leading cause of death. The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term oncologic outcomes of patients with head and neck adenoid cystic carcinoma focusing on distant metastasis. Materials & Methods: We retrospectively studied 39 patients who were diagnosed with and treated for adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck from December 1996 to May 2018. The clinicopathologic characteristics of patients such as age, sex, primary site and TNM stage, and treatment methods, recurrence and distant metastasis after treatment, survival rate, and treatment method for recurrence were analyzed. Results: Of 39 patients, 18 were males and 21 were females, and the mean age was $5.9{\pm}14.4$ (28-89) years. The most common primary site was oral cavity (12 cases), and followed by sino-nasal cavity (11 cases), parotid gland (5 cases), and etc. For treatment, 17 patients underwent surgery alone, 16 received surgery with postoperative radiation therapy, and 3 patients received radiation therapy only. Three patients refused any further treatments. Recurrence occurred in 15 patients. The most common site of recurrence was the lung. The mean time to recurrence was 31.7 months. The 5 and 10 years' overall survival rate was 79.3% and 74%, respectively. The 2 and 5 years' overall survival rate was 69.6% and 62.6% in patients with distant metastasis. Conclusion: Distant metastasis is an important prognostic factor in adenoid cystic carcinoma, and eventually one third of patients have distant metastasis, especially in the lung. An appropriate treatment for lung metastasis is necessary because some patients with pulmonary metastasis survive for a quite long time.

A case of sialadenitis is presented in a patient with painful swelling of the right mouth floor. The condition was caused by trauma on the right mouth floor during dental treatment, which had happened 15 days before admission. On aspiration, mucous secretion was found and ultrasonography showed obstruction of duct. Histopathological studies and surgical investigation established a definite diagnosis of obstructive sialadenitis caused by ductal laceration. As surgical treatment sialodochoplasty was selected. The case and relevant considerations are discussed.
