22
Q

Are pleomorphic adenomas encapsulated?

A

The pleomorphic adenoma is typically a well-circumscribed, encapsulated tumor. HOWEVER, the capsule may be incomplete or show infiltration by tumor cells. This lack of complete encapsulation is more common for minor gland tumors, especially along the superficial aspect of palatal tumors beneath the epithelial surface

Q

What is the alternate name for a Warthin tumor?

A

Papillary Cystadenoma Lymphomatosum

38
Q

What are the 2 pathogenic theories for Warthin tumor?

A
  1. heterotopic salivary gland tissue in a parotid lymph node 2. proliferation of salivary gland ductal epithelium with a secondary formation of lymphoid tissue
39
Q

Smokers are at an ____ fold risk for developing a Warthin tumor

A

8 fold

40
Q

If you see a warthin like histology in a gland other than the parotid, what are two more likely diagnoses?

A

papillary cystadenoma or a salivary duct cyst with oncocytic ductal metaplasia

41
Q

Warthin tumor age range, race, sex

A

60-70 years, whites, male (10:1 estimated)

42
Q

What is the recurrence rate for Warthin? What is the malignant counterpart?

A

43
Q

Canalicular adenoma age, sex

A

70s, female (1.8-1.2:1)

44
Q

Does a canalicular adenoma have a capsule?

A

Yes, a thin, fibrous capsule often surrounds the tumor, satellite islands found in 22-24% of cases
