Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) comprises 20% of cases of nonmelanoma skin cancers in the United States. In total, 3% to 5% of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are metastatic at the time of presentation, associated with significant mortality due to a lack of standardized treatment options. In total, 95% of these tumors are amenable to the initial standard of treatment, which is surgical resection.

Background: Salivary gland lesions possess diagnostic challenges on fine-needle aspiration (FNA) material. They are relatively uncommon, yet present with a wide spectrum of cytomorphology. Herein, we review common salivary gland neoplasms, their cytomorphologic features, their diagnostic pitfalls, and ancillary studies helpful in achieving an accurate diagnosis.

Ganglioneuromas (GNs) are slow-growing, benign tumors arising from Schwann cells, gangliocytes, and neuronal tissues. We report a rare intraparotid ganglioneuroma in a 42-year-old female presented with a parotid mass. The onset of the lesion dated back to 2021, but the growth was remarkable only in November 2022.

Background: The aim of the study was to investigate primary locoregional metastatic behavior in a large sample of various malignant tumors of the parotid gland with varying grades following surgical treatment consisting of complete parotidectomy and neck dissection.
Methods: The records of all patients treated for primary malignant tumors of the parotid gland by means of complete parotidectomy and neck dissection between 2007 and 2022 were studied retrospectively.
Results: 196 patients formed our study sample (98 females, 98 males).
