Sialadenoma papilliferum, a benign and rare salivary gland neoplasm, accounts for 0.4%-1.2% of all salivary gland tumors and occurs primarily in minor salivary glands of the oral cavity. Here, we report a case of sialadenoma papilliferum and its associated cytological findings. A papillary tumor was incidentally detected on the palate of an 86-year-old Japanese man. Conventional oral exfoliative cytology was performed; the cytology smear exhibited epithelial clusters composed of atypical epithelial cells with a high nuclear/cytoplasm ratio and arranged in sheet or small papillary-like projections. Cytoplasmic vacuoles were also observed in the papillae. It was difficult to make a definitive diagnosis due to the presence of uncommon cytological features. The excisional biopsy specimen revealed histological features characteristic of sialadenoma papilliferum. Mutational analysis detected BRAFV600E mutation, which confirmed the diagnosis of sialadenoma papilliferum. To the best of our knowledge, no prior cytomorphological evaluations of sialadenoma papilliferum have been reported in detail. Oral exfoliative cytology specimens from salivary gland tumors can demonstrate uncommon cytomorphological features. A differential diagnosis of sialadenoma papilliferum can be based on the observation of mildly atypical epithelial cells that form small papillary-like structures.

This case report presents a rare benign salivary gland tumour called sialadenoma papilliferum. It comprises 3 to 5% of head and neck tumours and about 1% of all minor salivary gland tumours. The focus is on discussing the BRAFV600E mutation analysis and exploring its clinical implications, along with delving into the histopathological differentials.

Aims: Esophageal submucosal gland duct adenoma is an extremely rare benign tumour, with only a few reported cases. We conducted the largest single-centre clinical study of esophageal submucosal gland duct adenoma, examining its molecular mechanisms and clinicopathological features.

Methods And Results: Between 2018 and 2023, seven cases of esophageal submucosal gland duct adenoma were identified at a tertiary medical centre; two were female and five were male, aged between 51 and 75 years (mean = 63.

Sialadenoma papilliferum is a tumor characterized by surface papillary projections and glandular/microcystic proliferation at the lesion base. Cases in which surface involvement is absent have been termed "sialadenoma papilliferum-like intraductal papillary tumor." Similar tumors that are present in the mandible have been termed "tubulopapillary hidradenoma-like tumor of the mandible.

Sialadenoma papilliferum (SP) is a rare salivary gland tumor mostly reported in the oral cavity. Here we describe a bronchial SP in the left upper lobe bronchus of a 10-year-old boy. At bronchoscopy, a well-circumscribed polypoid lesion protruding into the bronchial lumen was identified.
