AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines salivary gland neoplasms of uncertain malignant potential (SUMP) and aims to evaluate their risk of neoplasm (RON) and malignancy (ROM) through cytomorphologic subtyping, as per the Milan System for reporting salivary gland cytology (MSRSGC).
- Out of 1,159 salivary gland fine-needle aspiration (FNA) specimens, 14.8% were classified as SUMP, with surgical follow-up available for 139 cases showing a prevalence of malignancy in this group ranging from 29.8% to 36.7%.
- The analysis found that consensus reviews of SUMP cases yielded a higher ROM
Article Abstract
Introduction: Salivary gland neoplasm of uncertain malignant potential (SUMP) is an important diagnostic category of the Milan System for reporting salivary gland cytology (MSRSGC). Further subcategorization by cytomorphologic subtypes has been recommended to risk-stratify cases. In this study, our institutional experience with the risk of neoplasm (RON) and risk of malignancy (ROM) based on cytomorphologic subcategorization of SUMP is reported. We also report the prevalence of malignancy (POM) at our institution.
Methods: The pathology database was queried for cases of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) diagnosed as SUMP along with follow-up at our institution from 2018-February 2024. This study was approved by an institutional review board.
Results: Of 1159 cases of salivary gland FNA specimens reported as per MSRSGC at our institution, 14.8% (171/1159 cases) were diagnosed as SUMP, with these reports verified by at least 16 cytopathologists. Surgical follow-up was available for 139/171 (81.3%) of these cases, for which the original cytomorphologic subgroups were as follows: 65 (46.8%) basaloid, 48 (34.5%) oncocytic/oncocytoid, 14 (10.1%) myoepithelial, 9 (6.5%) other, 2 (1.4%) clear cell, and 1 (0.7%) mucinous. The POM within SUMP at our institution is within a range of 29.8%-36.7%. When considering all cases, our institutional RON for SUMP was 97.8% (136/139), and the ROM was 36.7% (51/139). Notably, a significant portion of cases (36%, 50/139) underwent review at a daily intradepartmental consensus conference. Analysis revealed that SUMP cases that underwent consensus review had a ROM of 46% (23/50), versus 31.5% (28/89) in independently verified cases (p = .13). Of the cytomorphologic subgroups, basaloid SUMP in particular was more likely to be benign on resection when the case had been independently verified than after consensus review (p = .0082). When considering only the independently verified cases, the ROM for each subgroup was as follows: 38.7% (12/31) in oncocytic/oncocytoid, 20% (9/45) in basaloid, 33.3% (2/6) in myoepithelial, 60% (3/5) in "other", and 100% (1/1) in both mucinous and clear cell (p = .0407).
Conclusion: While the RON is high across all cytomorphologic subgroups of SUMP, the ROM does vary across the groups, with basaloid cytomorphology having the lowest ROM. This effect is seen in independently verified cases but not in cases having undergone consensus review.

Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, University of Groningen, University Medical Centre Groningen, Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands.
Objectives: The objectives are to evaluate variation in systemic disease activity (European Alliance of Associations For Rheumatology (EULAR) Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI)) over time at group and individual patient level and to assess associations of ESSDAI low disease activity (LDA) with other outcome measures in a standard-of-care cohort of patients with Sjögren's disease (SjD).
Methods: Patients with SjD participating in a prospective longitudinal study (REgistry of Sjögren Syndrome LongiTudinal cohort) fulfilling the 2016 American College of Rheumatology/EULAR classification criteria with ≥2 years of follow-up were included. ESSDAI was assessed at least yearly, up to 5 years.

This in vivo mouse model study was conducted to investigate the temporal alteration of the function of CD36 in salivary secretion. CD36 was highly expressed in the parotid gland of BALB/c mice. No significant variations were shown in the CD36 levels in the 8-, 48-, and 72-week-old animals.

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.
