Carcinoma: Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma 4

Question 7

Pleomorphic Adenoma

Answer 7

• Well circumscribed and encapsulated (incomplete capsule) with lesional cells infil esp minor sal gland
• Vary App
• Epithelial lesion cells and myopepithelial cells within stroma - Stroma vary
• chondroid calcification
• Nucleus round and pushed to side
• clock eyed face
• myoepithelium: prominant/vary angular/spindles
• occ keratinising squamous and mucus gen cells

Question 8

Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma

Answer 8

Low Grade: cystic space and mucus> secrete lesional cells (and small proportion of epidermoid and intermediate)

High Grade: Less spaces, more dense (less mucus types>necrosis)

Question 9

Salivary Gland

Answer 9

Mucocoeles:
6
Extravasation
Mucus Retention Cyst

Question 10

Extravasation

Answer 10

Trauma - severed duct
Mucus spill into CT > inflam
Extravastated mucin (w PMNs) surrounded by inflamed fibrovascular granulation tissue 
adj sal gland parenchyma show chronic inflammation, ductal dilation, acinar atrophy and interstitial fibrosis
Thick psuedocystic wall

Question 11

Mucus Retention Cyst

Answer 11

Sal flow obstructed by blockage (sialolith).
Increase intraductal pressure
Salts around debris - concomitant infection causes discharge on pressure
Cystic cavity lined with ductal epithelium,
reactive metaplasia,
little inflammation in surrounding CT

Question 22

Ameloblastoma

Answer 22

“2 layers: Pre-Ameloblasts”
prolif ODG epith on fibrous stroma
Outerlayer=hyperchondric polarised cells=pre-AB, Central=loosley organised with stellate reticulum
-Follicular= island tumour
-Plexiform=irregular strands/mesh
-Acanthamatous=follicular but maybe keratin
-Granular cell type=stellate reticulum> increase eosinophillic
