Non-sebaceous lymphadenoma of the salivary glands is a rare benign lesion, first described in 1991. We present the case of a 54-year-old woman, with a right parotid mass. She underwent right superficial parotidectomy, and histopathology reported a non-sebaceous lymphadenoma due to an encapsulated lesion and multiple non-atypical epithelial inclusions without sebaceous differentiation. The etiology of non-sebaceous lymphadenoma is not yet understood, but it can arise predominantly from the parotid gland. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

Myoepithelial carcinoma (MC) is a rare salivary gland malignancy that usually affects people over the age of 50. The incidence is similar in both men and women. MC might develop de novo or within a pre-existing benign myoepithelioma or pleomorphic adenoma.

Schwannomas, benign tumours derived from Schwann cells, exhibit slow growth rates and are commonly found extracranially in the head, neck and extremities. However, intraoral and salivary gland schwannomas are less frequent. Ancient schwannomas, characterised by histological degenerative changes, represent a rare variant.

Salivary gland malignancies are rare, accounting for less than 5% of head and neck cancers. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common salivary gland tumour, predominantly found in the parotid gland. However, it has rarely been reported in the tongue.

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA), the most prevalent salivary gland tumor, exhibits a diverse histological spectrum characterized by epithelial, myoepithelial, and mesenchymal patterns, and secretory products. However, a subset of PAs presents microscopic features suggestive of malignancy, leading to challenging and potentially significant diagnostic pitfalls. A comprehensive retrospective analysis was conducted on the Salivary Gland Tumor Registry, compiled by the authors.

Background: Aurora kinase A (AurkA) plays a vital role in mitosis and is therefore critical in tumors development and progression. There are a few studies on AurkA expression in salivary gland tumors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression pattern of AurkA in the most common benign and malignant salivary gland tumors by immunohistochemistry.
