Acinic cell carcinoma of the salivary glands: an immunohistochemical study of angiogenesis in 12 cases.

Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is the third most common epithelial malignancy of the salivary glands in adults, exhibiting a low-grade malignancy that mainly occurs in the parotid gland and at a relatively younger age than other salivary gland tumors. We performed an immunohistochemically study regarding angiogenesis in ACC, by assessing the CD105+ tumor microvessels density and investigating the VEGF and its receptors VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 expression in tumor samples. The results indicated an active angiogenesis in ACC, with the highest CD105-MVD score recorded in the solid variant.

Acinic cell carcinoma of the salivary glands: a retrospective clinicopathologic study of 12 cases.

Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is the third most common epithelial malignancy of the salivary glands in adults, with a low-grade malignancy that mainly occurs in the parotid gland and at a relatively younger age than other salivary gland tumors. We made a retrospective study on our acinic cell carcinoma casuistry aiming their clinico-pathological characterization and comparison with literature data. From 2000 through 2011 in our hospital were diagnosed only 12 cases of ACC.

Recurrent intraoral HSV-1 infection: A retrospective study of 58 immunocompetent patients from Eastern Europe.

Objectives: To revise the clinical features of the recurrent intraoral herpetic infection (RIOH) with respect to precipitating factors, demographic, clinical features and outcome.

Study Design: Fifty-eight, unrelated Caucasian, immunocompetent patients with positive laboratory test for intraoral Herpes simplex virus infection were studied.

Results: The mean age in the women's group (n=42) was 41.

Primary herpetic gingivostomatitis in children and adults.

Objectives: To investigate if the onset of primary herpetic gingivostomatitis (PHG) is shifting toward an adult age and compare the clinical characteristics of PHG between children and adults.

Method And Materials: The charts of patients diagnosed with PHG in an oral medicine clinic in Bucharest, Romania, over a 10-year period were revisited. Diagnosis was based on history, clinical data, and laboratory confirmation (Tzanck cytology, polymerase chain reaction [PCR], or immunofluorescence).

Salivary gland Basal cell adenomas--immunohistochemical evaluation of four cases and review of the literature.

Objective: Evaluate the antigen profile of cellular population from basal cell adenomas.

Material And Methods: Histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation of four-salivary gland basal cell adenomas; the pathological samples were provided by the Oral Maxilla Facial Surgery Department of the Clinical County Hospital from Craiova.

Results: All basal cell adenoma exhibit differentiation toward 3 cell phenotypes: ductal luminal, basal and myoepithelial.
