Mutational analysis of BRAFV600E in a case of sialadenoma papilliferum of oral cavity.

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.

Myoepithelioma Arising in the Buccal Mucosa: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Although myoepithelioma is defined as a benign tumour made up primarily of neoplastic myoepithelial cells, its actual histopathological characteristics are highly diverse. It can be considered a rare disease. The most common site of occurrence is the parotid gland, followed by the minor salivary glands of the palate.

Esophageal submucosal gland duct adenoma: An unrecognised esophageal counterpart of minor salivary gland tumours with frequent BRAF V600E mutations.

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.

Diode laser removal of lower lip mucocele: a case report.

Mucocele is a common benign cyst pathology of minor salivary glands of the oral mucosa. The most common location for these lesions is the lower lip. It mainly occurs due to chronic trauma or habit of lip biting or sucking.

Clinical and Morphological Aspects of Aggressive Salivary Gland Mixed Tumors: A Narrative Review.

Salivary gland tumors are a rare and heterogeneous group of neoplasms of the head and neck region. The mixed category of these tumors include the following entities: pleomorphic adenoma (PA), carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CEPA), salivary carcinosarcoma (CS), and metastasizing PA (MPA). The most common benign tumor of the salivary glands is PA.

"The correlation between histopathological pattern and surgical treatment for palatal pleomorphic adenoma. Can we choose a more conservative approach?".

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most prevalent benign salivary gland tumor. Although rare, among the minor salivary glands, palatal PA exhibits the highest incidence. Unlike other benign tumors, PA infiltrates the surrounding tissues, posing challenges for complete removal through conservative measures.

Sialolipoma of Parotid Gland: A Case Report.

Sialolipoma is a rare tumor found within both major and minor saliva. Benign fatty tumors of parotid gland (lipomas) are very unusual, accounting for less than 0.5% of all parotid tumors.

The basaloid-spectrum of salivary gland tumors: A focused review with practical diagnostic considerations.

Basaloid salivary gland neoplasms are a diverse and varied group of benign and malignant tumors. The term 'basaloid' is broadly used in reference to cells with elevated nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio, sparse cytoplasm, and hyperchromatic nuclei. However, a subset may also fit within the "small round blue cell tumor" morphologic category or the "biphasic" salivary gland tumor category.
