erythroplakia is highly suggestive of what

A

squamous cell dysplasia

27

orchitis
pancreatitis
aseptic meningitis

32

37
Q

What is the most common tumor of the salivary gland

A

Pleomorphic adenoma

38
Q

What is pleomorphic adenoma

A
  • benign tumor composed of stromal (e.g., cartilage) and epithelial tissue
39
Q

What gland does pleomorphic adenoma commonly occur

A

Parotid

40
Q

what is the physical characteristic of pleomorphic adenoma

A

extension of small islands of tumor through tumor capsule often leads to incomplete secretion

41
Q

How often does pleomorphic adenoma turn over to carcinoma? characterize the carcinoma

A

rarely,

- signs of facial nerve damage ( facial nerve runs through parotid gland)

42
Q

What is the 2nd most common tumor of the salivary gland

A

Warthin tumor

43
Q

What is warthin tumor

A

benign cystic tumor with abundant lymphocytes and germinal centers (lymph node-like stroma)

44
Q

what gland does warthin tumor usually occur in

A

parotid

46
Q

what is mucoepidermoid carcinoma

A

malignant tumor composed of mucinous and squamous cells

47
Q

What gland does the mucoepidermoid carcinoma occur in?

A

parotid

- commonly involves facial nerve
