We describe three cases of sclerosing polycystic adenosis (SPA) of the parotid gland, a salivary condition analogous to fibrocystic disease of the breast. For the first time, immunoreactivity for oestrogen and progesterone receptors was demonstrated, suggesting a possible participation of hormone stimulation in its pathogenesis. In addition, all our cases showed foci of dysplasia of the ductal epithelium, which in one case was severe enough to amount to carcinoma in situ. This feature that has not previously been reported in SPA. 相似文献

Sclerosing polycystic adenosis (SPA) is a rare pathological condition affecting the salivary glands, first described by Smith etal. in 1996. Even though this lesion is being increasingly diagnosed, less than 50 cases have been published in the world literature to date. In line with numerous other pathological analogies between breast and salivary gland lesions, SPA shares with fibrocystic disease of the breast many histopathological features, i.e., fibrosis, oncocytic (apocrine) changes, hyperplasia of ductal and acinar epithelium, cystic dilation of ducts, and, often, atypical epithelial changes. Most of the described cases have followed a benign clinical course, despite the frequent possibility of atypical hyperplasia in more than 50% of the cases and of the more than occasional in situ malignant transformation. In this article, we introduce a new case occurring in the parotid gland of a 57‐year‐old male showing atypical epithelial hyperplasia and low‐grade in situ mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Fine‐needle cytology (FNC) was performed on the lesion and, when a diagnosis of SPA was prospected, the variegated cytological features of the obtained sample posed several differential diagnostic problems. The spectrum of pathological lesions entering differential diagnosis comprised sebaceous adenoma, Warthin's tumors with presence of sebaceous remnants, and low‐grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Histopathological examination disclosed SCA with intraductal neoplastic transformation resembling noninvasive low‐grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The cytological diagnosis of SPA should be entertained whenever a polymorphous picture is found on FNC samples comprising oncocytic/apocrine changes, sebaceous cells, cystic background, and epithelial hyperplasia with low‐grade cytological atypias.

Myoepithelial carcinoma (MC) is an uncommon neoplasm of the salivary glands, and cases of the clear-cell (CC) variant are extremely rare. Two cases of MC of the CC variant arising in the left submandibular gland are described herein. Both cases, which involved elderly women, almost exclusively consisted of large glycogen-rich CCs. Both cases were immunopositive for several epithelial and myoepithelial markers, and electron microscopy (EM) demonstrated hybrid epithelial and myoid differentiation in both. Case 1 arose in a pre-existing pleomorphic adenoma ("ex mixed tumor MC"), while Case 2 was a "de novo MC". CC-MC is an aggressive tumor with frequent recurrence, lymph node, and systemic metastases. A total of 14 cases of this type of neoplasm have been reported so far in the salivary glands, two arising from the submandibular gland. To date, only four cases have been studied using EM. The cases of CC-MC presented here are the third and fourth ones, respectively, originating from the submandibular glands, and the first two cases arising from this location, in which EM investigation succeeded in demonstrating myoepithelial differentiation. CC-MC needs to be distinguished from diverse primary and secondary CC neoplasms. 相似文献

AIMS: Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is the second most common type of malignant neoplasm in minor salivary glands. Its origin in major salivary glands is considered exceedingly rare. Herein, we present three cases of de novo PLGA arising in major salivary glands. METHODS AND RESULTS: Three cases of PLGA were identified in a large series of primary tumours of major salivary glands. We investigated their clinicopathological profiles, including immunohistochemical features. The three patients (two men and one woman) were 51, 65, and 79 years old. The tumours were 20-30 mm large; two were in the parotid gland and one in the submandibular gland. Histologically, all the tumours had a polymorphous architectural pattern showing predominantly solid, tubular, and cribriform features and invasive growth. Papillary areas were observed focally in two tumours and an 'Indian-file' array in one. The tumour cells had a bland cytological appearance and low mitotic count. Two tumours showed perineural invasion. No preexisting pleomorphic adenoma component was identified. In all cases, tumour cells were positive for epithelial markers, S100 protein, and vimentin but negative for alpha-smooth muscle actin, muscle-specific actin, and glial fibrillary acidic protein. Proliferative activities assessed with the Ki67 labelling index were 4.3%, 7.1%, and 7.6%; no p53 overexpression was observed. Two patients had local recurrence, but none had metastasis or died of tumour. CONCLUSIONS: PLGAs arising in major salivary glands and those in minor salivary glands have similar clinicopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics. It is important to recognize that PLGA can occur ab initio in the major salivary glands, although it is extremely rare. 相似文献

Mammary gland analog secretary carcinoma (MASC) of salivary gland is typically a tumor of low histologic grade and behaves as a low-grade malignancy with relatively benign course. This tumor shares histologic features, immunohistochemical profile, and a highly specific genetic translocation, ETV6-NTRK3, with secretory carcinoma of breast. Histologically, it is often mistaken as acinic cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified, and other primary salivary gland tumors. Here we report a case of MASC with high-grade transformation and cervical lymph node metastases confirmed with ETV6-NTRK3 translocation arising in the hard palate of a 41 year-old adult. Interestingly, the metastatic carcinoma has lower grade than the original tumor which strongly support malignant transformation of the original tumor. Most commonly, MASC arises from the parotid gland and less often in minor salivary glands. Metastasis is relatively uncommon and high-grade histology has only been reported in four cases with three of them arising from the parotid gland and the location of the fourth one has not been reported. This is the first case with high grade histology that arise from minor salivary gland and it emphasizes the importance of molecular screening of salivary gland tumor with high-grade histology for ETV6-NTRK3 translocation. In our literature of 115 cases that includes the current case, MASC occurred predominantly in adult with only a few cases under 18 years of age and a male to female ratio of 1.2:1. Parotid gland is more commonly affected but there is also significant occurrence in minor salivary glands. Except for the cases with high grade histology, the overall prognosis is good. 相似文献

Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is an uncommon low-grade malignancy of the salivary glands. Most cases occur in the major salivary gland, but a few cases affecting the minor salivary gland have also been described. Although various growth patterns have been reported in the literature, a few cases have been diagnosed as ACC with follicular pattern. We present a rare case of ACC with follicular pattern of the soft palate in a 60-year-old man. The occurrence of ACC in this area is extremely rare, and its striking thyroid-like appearance may cause confusion in the differential diagnosis. 相似文献

Necrotizing sialometaplasia is a benign condition first described in minor salivary glands of the soft palate with morphological changes which can be misinterpreted as squamous-cell carcinoma. Similar lesions have been subsequently reported in other locations including major salivary glands, lip, breast and skin (the term syringometaplasia has been applied for the latter). We report three cases of such a process involving submucosal glands in the trachea following prolonged translaryngeal intubation. 相似文献

Polymorphous Low Grade Adenocarcinoma (PLGA) arises characteristically in the minor salivary glands. Histological diagnosis of this tumour has improved following awareness and well characterized histologic features. However cytologic diagnosis is difficult. Ten cases of PLGA were identified on review of 61 cases of palatal salivary gland tumours aspirated over a 17 year period. Seven of these had been diagnosed as salivary gland tumours but had not been further characterized, while two cases had been diagnosed as adenoid cystic carcinoma initially. In only one case a differential diagnosis between pleomorphic adenoma and PLGA had been considered. Cytologic diagnosis of PLGA is difficult but possible if an attempt is made to identify specific cytologic criteria. 相似文献

Hemangioma is a common soft tissue tumor that frequently occurs in the oral and maxillofacial region including salivary glands, but is rarely biopsied and is therefore often unfamiliar to the surgical pathologist. Our study examined the subclassification and histologic features of salivary gland hemangioma (SGH). Consultative cases coded as hemangioma and located in salivary gland from 1970 to 2000 were retrieved from the Registry of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (Washington, DC). Only cases with histologic evidence of salivary gland involvement were included. Slide material and patient history for all cases were reviewed, subclassification assigned, and histologic features were noted. Ten cases coded as hemangioma with slides and history met our inclusion criteria. Seven cases were the "juvenile hemangioma" subtype in the parotid of infants, ranging in age from 3 to 10 months (mean age, 5.3 months) with a male predominance. These SGH had a distinctive histologic appearance of a cellular proliferation of capillary sized vessels around retained salivary gland ducts. Mitoses were easily identified. Three additional cases in females included an arteriovenous hemangioma of a lip minor salivary gland since birth in a 15-month-old infant and two parotid gland lesions: a lobular capillary hemangioma of a 10-year-old and a cavernous hemangioma in a 51-year-old. The latter three cases grew as replacing masses and lacked retained salivary gland ducts within the lesion, despite glandular tissue at the periphery of the tumor. No SGH cases in our series were identified in the submandibular or sublingual glands. Despite its common occurrence, SGH is relatively rare in our surgical pathology files. The parotid gland is the most common location (90%). Salivary gland hemangioma includes usual hemangioma subtypes, mainly in females, and a distinctive infantile subtype of capillary hemangioma (juvenile hemangioma), displaying distinctive histology and found predominately in males. The cellularity, mitotic activity, and retained salivary gland ducts in the latter lesion should not make one consider malignancy. 相似文献

AIMS: We studied the clinicopathological features of 11 condyloma and condyloma-like lesions of the oral cavity with an unusual mixed pattern of exophytic and intraductal growth. The latter manifest as involvement of minor salivary gland ducts by the proliferative squamous lesions. This pattern of ductal involvement has not been previously described in oral condyloma. METHODS AND RESULTS: The clinical history was available for nine patients ranging in age from 17 to 73 years. Two were female and seven male. The buccal mucosa (five cases) was the most common site of occurrence, followed by the floor of mouth (two cases), lingual frenum (two cases), and hard palate (one case). All lesions exhibited exophytic and intraductal growth. The latter manifested itself as extension of the lesions into the excretory ducts of minor salivary glands. Underlying minor salivary glands, present in many of the excisional biopsy specimens, typically showed changes of obstructive atrophy. The exophytic components of all cases exhibited some degree of parakeratosis, and cryptic invaginations of parakeratin were typically present. Koilocytes were present in seven lesions and were equivocal in four. Mucous cells were present in the intraductal component of all cases and the intraductal component was never keratinized, but often papillary. A mild stromal-based, lymphocytic host response was present in three. A variably prominent neutrophilic infiltrate was present in the exophytic component of eight. Dysplasia was not present in any case. Five of 11 cases were positive with anti-human papillomavirus (HPV) and two of 11 cases were positive for in-situ hybridization probes directed against HPV 6/11. All cases were negative for HPV 16/18 and 13/33/35. CONCLUSIONS: Oral condyloma acuminatum may involve the excretory ducts of minor salivary glands. The diagnosis of oral condyloma acuminatum is difficult, as these lesions share considerable histological overlap with squamous papilloma. Finally, the relationship between these two lesions is incompletely understood. 相似文献

Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by the infiltration of lymphocytes in exocrine glands, specifically the salivary and lacrimal glands, resulting in the typical symptoms of xerophthalmia and xerostomia. SS may be accompanied by pleural effusion when the lung is involved, but this occurrence has been reported in only 10 cases in the literature. We report the case of a 42 year-old woman with severe bilateral pleural effusion for eight years. Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome was finally diagnosed based on the presence of xerophthalmia and xerostomia, biopsy of the minor salivary glands, and positive anti-SS-A antibody in the serum and pleural effusion. Biopsy of the parietal pleura through video-assisted thoracoscopy revealed infiltration of lymphocytes. The patient had a long history of pleural effusion without clear etiology. Malignant disease was first suspected because of abnormal density lesion on the left lung and malignant cells found on cytology, but PET-CT revealed no malignant lesion. Examinations did not support infection, malignant tumor, pulmonary sarcoidosis, or other connective tissue diseases. This data could be useful for the future study of pleural effusion in SS. 相似文献

Cytogenetic similarities between two types of salivary gland carcinomas: adenoid cystic carcinoma and polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) are low-grade adenocarcinomas of salivary glands with a putative common histogenesis from the intercalated ducts but featuring distinct histological appearances. Hybrid tumors containing areas with histological patterns of both neoplasms have been reported but, to our knowledge, the question of their genotypic similarity has not yet been approached. As part of an ongoing study on cytogenetic characterization of salivary gland tumors, from a group of 24 malignant neoplasms, three out of five cases of ACC and three of four cases of PLGA were selected for their similar karyotypic changes. All of them displayed chromosome 12 abnormalities, affecting the 12q12-q13 region in four (all ACC cases and one PLGA case), 12q22 in one PLGA case, and 12p12.3 in the remaining. From this group of neoplasms, one PLGA and one ACC showed the same t(6;12)(p21;q13). Our findings favor the concept that tumors of salivary glands displaying epithelial and myoepithelial phenotypes share a common histogenesis. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate whether the frequency and distribution of mast cells (MCs) in pleomorphic adenomas (PAs) of major and minor salivary glands justifies the suggestion that there exists an association between MCs and mucoid stromal changes in PAs. METHODS: The material consisted of 22 cases of pleomorphic adenoma (eight arising in major and 14 in minor salivary glands) and a control group represented by five cases of monomorphic adenoma (MA). Representative 3-microm thick, paraffin-embedded sections were stained with H&E and Azur A. Computer-aided image analysis was performed in order to evaluate the relative surface area occupied by epithelial and connective tissue components, as well as the absolute number of MCs. RESULTS: According to our findings, PAs from minor salivary glands contain significantly greater numbers of mast cells compared with tumours from major glands. Additionally, the distribution of MCs within the stromal connective tissue appeared not to be random. CONCLUSION: It is possible that differences in the pattern of connective tissue might influence the actual concentration of MCs and that these differences are responsible for the observed variations between major and minor gland PAs. 相似文献

Melanocytes can be found in the stroma of salivary glands and their tumors. However, the presence of melanin pigment in the
tumor cells of salivary gland origin is exceedingly rare. A 42-year-old man presented with a nasal tumor that was black in
color. The histology was that of a minor salivary gland carcinoma with foci resembling an adenoid cystic carcinoma. The myoepithelial
cells of this tumor contained melanin pigment. The possible histogenesis of this lesion and an explanation for the occurrence
of melanin pigment in a salivary gland tumor are discussed. 相似文献

A neurotropic route for Maize mosaic virus (Rhabdoviridae) in its planthopper vector Peregrinus maidis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To investigate the dissemination route of Maize mosaic virus (MMV, Rhabdoviridae) in its planthopper vector Peregrinus maidis (Delphacidae, Hemiptera), temporal and spatial distribution of MMV was studied by immunofluorescence confocal laser scanning microscopy following 1-week acquisition feeding of planthoppers on infected plants. MMV was detected 1-week post first access to diseased plants (padp) in the midgut and anterior diverticulum, 2-week padp in the esophagus, nerves, nerve ganglia and visceral muscles, and 3-week padp in hemocytes, tracheae, salivary glands and other tissues. MMV is neurotropic in P. maidis; infection was more extensive in the nervous system compared to other tissues. A significantly higher proportion of planthoppers had infected midguts (28.1%) compared to those with infected salivary glands (20.4%) or to those that transmitted MMV (15.7%), suggesting the occurrence of midgut and salivary gland barriers to MMV transmission in P. maidis. In this planthopper, the esophagus and anterior diverticulum are located between the compound ganglionic mass and the salivary glands. We postulate that MMV may overcome transmission barriers in P. maidis by proceeding from the midgut to the anterior diverticulum and esophagus, and from these to the salivary glands via the nervous system: a neurotropic route similar to that of some vertebrate-infecting rhabdoviruses. 相似文献

The development of the piroplasmBabesia equi was studied by light microscopy in the salivary glands of three differentHyalomma species during and after the engorgement of nymphs on experimentally infected horses and after adults had fed on a vertebrate host following ecdysis. The stock ofB. equi used was isolated from a horse imported from Turkmenistan (CIS) in 1991. The findings, being identical in all threeHyalomma species, differ with regard to the chronological order of the development stages in several respects from the results of previous studies based upon light or electron microscopy. A first sporogony phase ofB. equi was found to develop in the salivary glands of the engorged nymphs before the ticks moulted to adults. Beginning at day 6 postinfestation (p. infest.) of the nymphs, spindle-shaped sporozoites appeared to be formed by both rapid sequential fission of a multinucleated complex and a process of radial budding from multiple fission bodies. Sporozoites isolated from the salivary glands of the engorged nymphs proved to be infectious when they were injected into a susceptible horse. After the nymphs had moulted, a second sporogony phase similar to the first one observed in the salivary glands of engorged nymphs could also be initiated in the salivary glands of adults when they were attached to a vertebrate host. Sporozoites produced in the salivary glands of adults were equally infectious for horses. Thus, two completely separate sporogony phases inB. equi seem to develop successively in the salivary glands ofHyalomma species during a transstadial transmission. 相似文献

Although primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune exocrinopathy, the involvement of liver has been reported. Because no study focusing on autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in pSS has been published, the purpose of the present study was to perform a clinical and histological examination of the liver, focusing on AIH, in 17 pSS patients. The patients had liver enzyme abnormalities without hepatitis virus infection. In all cases, biopsied livers were examined, and in 10 cases biopsied labial salivary glands were also examined histologically. Based on the authors' diagnostic criteria for AIH in pSS, the liver diseases consisted of AIH (eight cases, 47%), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC; six cases, 35%), non-specified chronic hepatitis (two cases, 12%) and acute hepatitis (one case, 6%). Lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, with predominancy of CD3(+) T cells, was noted in both the liver and salivary glands in the patients with AIH. The patients with AIH with severe interface hepatitis had a good response to immunosuppressive therapy. The comparison of liver histology between the PBC with pSS group and the PBC without pSS group showed that the incidence of lymphoid non-suppurative cholangitis was higher in PBC with pSS. In conclusion, the present study offers new information on the relatively common occurrence, diagnostic criteria and treatment effects of AIH in pSS. 相似文献

The association of Epstein Barr virus (EBV) with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is still in dispute. This study is aimed to investigate the existence of EBV genomes and their products in salivary glands of SS. Salivary gland samples were surgically obtained from Chinese patients. EBV DNA was detected in three of seven cases by dot blot hybridization and in four of seven cases by in situ hybridization. The EBV-encoded small RNA-1 (EBER1) was detected in two of seven cases by in situ hybridization. The immunohistochemical staining of EBV proteins showed that the EBV latent membrane protein-1 was detected in four of seven cases and that BZLF1, BALF2, and gp350/220 proteins associating with virus production were not expressed. In eight controls, no positive signal was observed by these methods. DNA in situ hybridization identified ERV on both epithelial cells and lymphocytes. On the other hand, EBER1-positive signals were exclusively localized on lymphocytes. These results indicate that two forms of EBV infection may exist in salivary glands of SS. One is EBER1-positive latency in lymphocytes, the other is EBER1-negative latency in epithelial cells. Frequent EBV detection in salivary glands of SS suggests that EBV plays a role in the genesis of SS. 相似文献

The inferior salivatory nucleus (ISN) contains parasympathetic neurons controlling the parotid and von Ebner salivary glands. To characterize the neurophysiological and morphological properties of these neurons, intracellular recordings were made from anatomically identified ISN neurons in rat brain slices. Neurons were also filled with Lucifer yellow and morphometrically analyzed. Based on responses to membrane hyperpolarization followed by depolarization, three types of repetitive discharge patterns were defined for neurons innervating the parotid gland. The regular, repetitive discharge response to membrane depolarization was changed by hyperpolarization resulting either in a delay in the occurrence of the first spike or to an increase in the length of the first interspike interval in the action potential train. Membrane hyperpolarization had little effect on the discharge pattern of some neurons. Similar response discharge patterns were found for neurons innervating the von Ebner salivary gland, which also included a further group of neurons that responded with a short burst of action potentials. Neurons innervating the parotid salivary glands differed morphologically from the von Ebner salivary glands having significantly larger soma and more and longer dendrites than von Ebner gland neurons. In addition, the mean membrane input resistance, time constant, and spike half-width of parotid gland neurons was significantly lower than in von Ebner gland neurons. These differences in intrinsic membrane properties and morphology may relate to the functions of the von Ebner and parotid glands. von Ebner glands are involved in taste stimulus delivery and removal from posterior tongue papillae while the parotid glands contribute saliva to the entire mouth. 相似文献
