Q

Origin of Salivary Neoplasm

A

These tumors may arise from the secretory tissue, the duct system, or from the stromal tissue (mainly lymphoid tissue).

Q

Complications of Pleomorphic adenoma

A
  • It grows slowly without infiltration of the facial nerve.
  • Long-standing (more than 10 years) pleomorphic adenoma rarely turns malignant.

Q

Complications of Adenoid cystic carcinoma

A
  • Great tendency for perineural invasion, thus it usually invades the facial nerve.
  • It has a high frequency of local and distant recurrence and poor long- term prognosis.

39
Q

Investigations for Salivary Neoplasm

40
Q

Low growing parotid tumors should not be subjected to biopsy for 2 reasons:

A

1) Injury to the facial nerve.

2) Seeding of tumor cells in the subcutaneous plane which causes recurrence in about 40-50% of cases.

41
Q

FNAC

Investigtions of Salivary Neoplasm

A
  • It is done to confirm the diagnosis and rule out malignancy.
  • FNAC of the LNs that are palpable in the neck in malignancy cases of the parotid gland.
42
Q

Radiological

Investigtions of Salivary Neoplasm

A
  • CT
  • MRI
  • X-Ray
43
Q

Indication of CT Scan

Investigtions of Salivary Neoplasm

A

Done for tumor arising from the deep lobe.

It helps to:
1) Define the extraglandular spread,
2) The extent of parapharyngeal disease,
3) Cervical lymph nodes and bony infiltration.

44
Q

MRI

Investigtions of Salivary Neoplasm

A
  • MRI is a better investigation. However, it is expensive,
  • CT scan and MRI lack specificity for differentiating between benign and malignant lesion.
45
Q

X-Ray

Investigtions of Salivary Neoplasm

A

X-ray of the bones (mandible and mastoid process) to look for bony resorption if malignancy is suspected.
