Pleomorphic adenoma
Most common benign salivary gland tumor
Usually in parotid gland
Pleomorphic: variable appearance architecturally
Parenchymatous glands with myoepithelium
Stroma with epithelial tissue
Diagnose with fine needle aspiration (best: 90% sensitivity), US, CT, or MRI
Treat with surgical resection (parotidectomy), but it's a recurrent issue; can become carcinoma

Warthin's tumor

Salivary gland cancer is a rare disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the salivary glands. But what are the early symptoms of salivary gland cancer? Our otolaryngologist Hakan Cıncık, MD talked about salivary gland cancer in detail and answered some of the most asked questions about the disease.

Joseph Zenga, MD, head and neck surgical oncologist, explains that the survival rate for salivary gland cancer depends on the type and stage of cancer, but the majority of salivary gland cancers can be treated successfully. Dr. Zenga is a member of the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Head and Neck Cancer Program in Milwaukee, Wis.

Salivary gland Neoplasm can be Benign or Malignant.
Majority of cases are c.
Malignant cancers are rare.
Malignant salivary gland tumors usually present after the 6th decade of life, whereas benign lesions present in the 4-5th decade of life.
The salivary glands make saliva and release it into the mouth.
There are 3 pairs of major salivary glands:
Parotid glands: These are the largest salivary glands and are found in front of and just below each ear. Most major salivary gland tumors begin in this gland.
Sublingual glands: These glands are found under the tongue in the floor of the mouth.
Submandibular glands: These glands are found below the jawbone.
here are also hundreds of small (minor) salivary glands lining parts of the mouth, nose, and larynx that can be seen only with a microscope. Most small salivary gland tumors begin in the palate (roof of the mouth).
Signs and Symptoms.
Some cases Salivary gland cancer can be asymptomatic.
In other cases:
A lump (usually painless) in the area of the ear, cheek, jaw, lip, or inside the mouth.
Fluid draining from the ear.
Trouble swallowing or opening the mouth widely.
Numbness or weakness in the face.
Pain in the face that does not go away.
Causes:
No single cause is known for Salivary gland Cancer, but Radiation exposure, head and neck radiation therapy, has been linked to parotid gland carcinomas, 15 years after the event.
Cigarette smoking and alcohol directly, are not associated with salivary gland tumor.
Salivary tumor among kids are very rare.
Most of cases occurs sixth decade of life.
Overall 5-year survival rate of salivary cancer is 70 % but highly dependent on stage and type of cancer.
Diagnosis.
Most common diagnostic tests are: Common tests are: MRI (magnetic resonance imaging): and CT scan (CAT scan). Endoscopy and Phisical examination.

Most patients with early-stage lesions that are resectable generally tend to undergo surgery as their initial therapeutic approach, whereas those with advanced or unresectable cancers tend to be treated with radiotherapy alone or chemoradiotherapy.
