41
Q

What is the tear test for Sjogren Syndrome

noninflammatory disorder characterized by salivary gland enlargement, especially parotid, usually do to some underlying systemic problem

A

Sialadenosis/Sialosis

43
Q

Systemic conditions associated with Sialadenosis

A

Diabetes melitis Malnutrition
Alcoholism
Bulimia

44
Q

Locally destructive inflammatory condition of salivary glands caused by ischemia that leads to local infarction. The problem is it mimics a malignant process clinically and microscopically

A

Necrotizing Sialometaplasia

45
Q

What is one way to differentiate Necrotizing Sialometaplasia from Oral Cancer

A

Cleaner borders around the lesion (cancer has ragged borders)

46
Q

Where is Necrotizing Sialometaplasia commonly found

A

Palate salivary glands (squamous cell carcinoma rare on palate)

47
Q

Treatment for Necrotizing Sialometaplasia

A

Biopsy and no treatment, will resolve in 5-6 weeks

48
Q

Most common site for salivary gland tumors

A

Parotid gland

49
Q

What is the most common parotid gland tumor

A

Pleomorphic Adenoma

50
Q

What gland tumor has the highest rate of malignancy

A

Sublingual

51
Q

Benign vs Malignant for Salivary Gland tumors

A

Parotid: 80% benign, 20% malignant Submand/palatal/Buccal: 50/50
Sublingual: 20% Benign, 80% malignant Upper lip glands: 80% benign, 20% malignant Lower lip glands: 20% benign, 80% malignant

52
Q

Most common site for minor salivary gland tumors

A

palate

53
Q

Common location for Pleomorphic adenoma

A

Superficial lobe parotid with swelling over ramus in front of ear

54
Q

What is the exception about the Pleomorphic Adenoma

A

exception where tumor is immobile, but benign

55
Q

What is the radiographic character of the Pleomorphic Adenoma

A

regular circumscribed border (malignant would have no clear border or moth eaten)

56
Q

Treatment of Pleomorphic Adenoma

A

Surgical excision, 95% cure

57
Q

Tumor that is exclusive to Parotid Gland

A

Warthin Tumor

58
Q

Character of Warthin Tumor

A

Huge male predilection
Does not occur in minor salivary glands Smokers at huge risk
Parotid only

59
Q

What is the histology associated with the Warthin Tumor

A

double row of oncocytes with adjacent lymphoid stroma

60
Q

Where does the Warhtin tumor grow

A

Tail of parotid near angle of the mandible

61
Q

Monomorphic adenoma found almost exclusively in the minor glands of the upper lip

A

Canalicular adenoma

62
Q

Treatment for canalicular adenoma

A

Surgical excision

63
Q

Difference between a Warthin tumor and an Oncocytoma (benign salivary gland tumor in 8th decade)

A

no lymphoid stroma around the double row of oncocytes

64
Q

3 most common malignant salivary gland tumors

A

mucoepidermoid carcinoma Adenoid cystic carcinoma

Low Grade carcinoma

65
Q

Most common malignant salivary gland neoplasm

A

mucoepidermoid carcinoma

66
Q

Most common salivary gland tumor in childre

A

mucoepidermoid carcinoma

67
Q

What gland is the Mucoepidermoid carcinoma common in

A

Parotid

68
Q

Where is the second most common site for Mucoepirdermoid carcinoma

A

minor glands of palate

69
Q

If there is a lesion, not tooth related, that is elevated on the palate, what is it until proven otherwise

A

salivary gland tumor

70
Q

Histo of mucoepidermoid carcinoma

A

mucous producing cells and epidermoid cells

71
Q

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the salivary gland tumor that most commonly

A

goes into bone

72
Q

The higher the grade tumor of Mucoepidermoid carcinoma

A

the less prominent the cyst and the fewer mucous cells

73
Q

Low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma treatment

A

surgical resection with modest margin of surrounding normal tissue w/ good prognosis. Hige grade requires more resection and possible radiation with a more guarded prognosis.

74
Q

Slow growing mass with pain early in the swelling common in minor salivary glands, meaning most common on palate

A

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma

75
Q

Most important clinical feature of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma

A

Perineural invasion

76
Q

What is the classic histology of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (Good exam question and picture)

A

Swiss cheese or cylinder look

77
Q

Surgical consideration of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma

A

relentless, hard to get rid of, doesn’t kill you quickly. Surgery w/ adjunct radiation

78
Q

Where does Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma metastasize to

A

Lungs and bones

79
Q

This is the third most common malignant salivary gland tumor and is exclusive to the minor salivary glands (which means itm most commonly occurs on the palate)

A

Polymorphous Low Grade Adenocarcinoma

80
Q

2 malignant salivary gland tumors we should be able to identify histologically

A

Mucoepidermoid (mucous and epidermal cells) Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (Swiss cheese look)

81
Q

How is Polymorphous Low Grade Adenocarcinoma like Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma

A

both have perineural invasion, but polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma perineural invasion does not affect prognosis

82
Q

Treatment for Polymorphous Low-Grade Adenocarcinoma

A

Wide surgical resection with good prognosis
