Q

What are causes of sialadenitis?

A

o Trauma: usually manifests as a mucocele (fluctuant bluish swelling) resulting from either blockage or rupture of a salivary gland duct with mucus extravasation
o Viral infections: especially mumps
o Bacterial infections: non-specific bacterial sialadenitis is usually caused by infection with S.aureus and Streptococcus viridans following sialolithiasis
o Autoimmune disease

Q

Clinical features of sjogren sydrome

A

Clinical features
Dry mouth (xerostomia)
Dry eyes (keratoconjunctivitis sicca), due to lymphocytic infiltration and destruction of the lacrimal gland..
Patients with Sjogren syndrome have an increased risk of developing lymphoid malignancies.

Q

Where do neaoplasm of salivary glands arises?

A

65-80% of all salivary gland neoplasms arise in parotid, 10% in submandibular gland and rest in the minor salivary glands

Q

Which tumours of are benign and maligannt in salivary glands

A

Majority of parotid tumours are benign, while higher proportions of submandibular and minor salivary gland tumours are malignant

17
Q

Most common form of benign salivary gland tumpurs are?

A

Pleomorphic adenoma and warthin tumpur

18
Q

Most common malignant tumours of salivary galns are?

A

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma

19
Q

what is pleomorphic adenoma (Mixed tumours)?

A

Most common salivary gland neoplasm (Parotid gland»submandibular»Minor salivary glands)

20
Q

Tje pleomorphic adenoma consists of what?

A

Consists of a mixture of ductal (epithelilal) and myoepithelial cells within a chondromyxoid or fibrous (mesenchymal) stroma, associated with PLAG1 or HMGA2 alterations

21
Q

what are clinical features of pleomorphic adenoma?

A

Usually presents as painless slow-growing mobile discrete mass

22
Q

Does the pleomorphic adenoma recur?

A

May recur, low rate of malignant tranformation (increases with age of lesion)

23
Q

Explain the gross appearance of pleomorphic adenoma?

A

Circumscribed lobulated mass with tan, white, translucent or gelatinous cut surface

24
Q

Name the tumour that consists of oncocytic epithelial cells lining ductal, papillary and cystic structures associated witha lymphoid rich stroma

A

Warthin tumour

25
Q

Explain the clinical features of warthin tumour?

A

40-60yo M>F, particulary in smokers.

26
Q

is warthin tumour recur?

A

Rarely recurs unless incompletetly excised

27
Q

Gross appearance of warthin tumour

A

usually unifocal but can be multifocal/bilateral. well circumscibed round to oval mass with pale gray surface and cystic/cleft-like spaces +/- papillary projections filled with mucinous secretions

28
Q

The microscopic appearance of the warthin tumour looking at the example

A

Papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum, microscopic Papillary fronds project into cystic to cleftlike spaces filled with pale pink mucinous to serous secretions. The papillary fronds are covered by a double layer of pink (oncocytic) cuboidal to columnar epithelium

29
Q

The most common primary malignant tumpur of salivary glans (mostly in parotid glands)

A

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma

30
Q

The mucoepidermoid carcinoma consists of what?

A

Consists of mucous, intermediate and epidermoid (squamous) epithelium cells forming solid and cystic areas.

31
Q

The mucepidermoid carcinoma is assocted with what?

A

MAML2 gene rearrangement

32
Q

List the clinical fearures of mucoepidermoid carcinoma

A

Wide age range include children

33
Q

The prognosis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma

A

depends on hostologic grade

34
Q

The gross appearance of mucoepidermoid carcinoma

A

Pale gray-white firm to soft solid tumours +/- cystic areas, may appear circumscribed or infilrative

35
Q

Where does Adenoid cystic carcinoma occur?

A

Approximately half occur in the minor salivary glands, can also occur in sites outside of the salivary glands e.g, nose, upper airways, lung, breast

36
Q

The adenoid cystic carcinoma consits of what?

A

Consists of basaloid cells forming tubular, solid or cribriform growth patterns with basophilic or hyaline matrix/basement membrane material

37
Q

The adenoid cystic carcunoms is associated with what?

A

Associated with MYB, MYBL1 or NFIB reaarangement

38
Q

What are clinical features of adenoid cystic carcinoma

A

Usually older patients. Tends to be slow-growing but can have rapid course in the presence of high grade transformation. Frequent perineurial invasion

39
Q

The gross appearance od adenoid cystic carcinoma

A

Poorly circumscribed tan-gray/whte firm solid mass
