Ch11 Salivary Part 2 Flashcards
__________ is an unusual noninflammatory disorder characterized by salivary gland enlargement, particularly involving the parotid glands
Sialadenosis
What are the 4 main culprits for sialadenosis?
diabetes, malnutrition, alcoholism, bulimia
What are the 5 endocrine disorders assoiciated with sialadenosis?
diabetes melitus, diabetes insipidus, acromegaly, hypothyroidism, pregnancy
What 5 nutritional conditions are associated with Sialadenosis?
General malnutrition, alcoholism, cirrhosis, anorexia nervosa, bulimia
What 3 neurogenic medications are associated with sialadenosis?
antihypertensive drugs, psychotropic drugs, sypathomimetic drugs for asthma
In sialadenosis, which cell type is becoming enlarged due to dysregulation? Which cell is atrophying?
enlarged: acinar cells….atrophy: myoepithelial cells
“leafless tree” pattern on sialography
sialadenosis
Micro for sialadenosis: hypertrophy of the _____ cells, sometimes two to three times greater than normal size. The nuclei are displaced to the cell base, and the cytoplasm is engorged with ______ granules.
hypertrophy of acinar cells….zymogen
Micro for sialadenosis: In cases associated with long-standing diabetes or alcoholism, there may be acinar ATROPHY and ______ infiltration. Significant inflammation is NOT observed.
FATTY
Sialadenosis treatment: #1 overall? What drug has helped in bulimic patients?
1: treat the underlying cause…..pilocarpine
__________ is a rare ‘pseudotumor’ of the minor salivary glands characterized by localized swelling that mimics a neoplasm
Adenomatoid hyperplasia
Adenomatoid hyperplasia location? pathogenesis?
hard or soft palate….local trauma?
Necrotizing sialometaplasia age and gender
mean age 46 years….males 2x as often
Necrotizing sialometaplasia - histology can mimic SCC or MucoEp, what two stains can be helpful?
low reactivity to p53 and Ki67 for NS compared to SCC and MucoEp
What is the most common malignancy of the submandibular gland?
Adeniod cystic carcinoma
What are the 3 most common locations (in order) for minor salivary gland tumors?
Hard/soft palate > upper lip > buccal mucosa
What are the chances that a salivary tumor on the palate or buccal mucosa is malignant?
ALMOST HALF. (41-47% of palate; 30-50% of buccal mucosa salivary tumors are malignant)
Up to 95% of salivary gland tumors in WHAT AREA are malignant? (MucoEp)
Retromolar Pad
Cytogenetic studies of Pleomorphic Adenomas find TRANSLOCATIONS in ___% of them for WHICH GENE located on WHICH CHROMOSOME?
70% of PAs have translocations for PLAG1 (pleomorphic adenoma gene 1) located at chromosome region 8q12
Pleomorphic adenoma age range? Gender?
30-60 years old…slight FEMALE
What is the most common primary salivary gland tumor to develop in childhood?
Pleomorphic Adenoma
Are pleomorphic adenomas encapsulated?
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
The mesenchymal stroma in Pleomorphic Adenomas is thought to be a product of which cell?
myoepithelial
What is the name for pleomorphic adenomas composed of almost entirely myoepithelial cells and no ductal element?
myoepithelioma
Which pleomorphic adenomas are more likely to recur?
predominantly myxoid
Alternate name for oncocytoma
oxyphilic adenoma
