2.Clinical and histological features and treatment of major salivary cancer
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):36-37
Among 156 patients with ages of 15-80, suffering the major salivary cancer in which parotid salivary cancer (73.5%), mandibullar salivary (26.5%), 15% of patients had symptoms of paralysis of peripheral facial nerve. 9.6% of patients had persistent pain. The patients received an operation for selective ganglion curettage. If the ganglion was positive, postoperative radiation indicated for both tumor and ganglion at dose of 70 Gy. If the ganglion was negative, the postoperative radiation indicated for primary tumor at dose of 70 Gy. Results: the total survival rate after 3 years and 5 years of the treatment was 74.1 and 60.6%, respectively. The local relapse rate after the single operation, radiation at dose of 50 Gy and dose of 70 Gy was 48.1%, 71.4% and 3% respectively

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Ultrasonography represents the initial imaging modality of choice for the assessment of the parotid gland tumors. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of ultrasonography in differential diagnosis of the parotid gland tumors. SUBJECTS AND METHOD: Ultrasonography of the 49 patients with parotid gland tumors were retrospectively reviewed. Histology of all cases was confirmed after parotidectomy. The ultrasonographic features of the most common two histologies, namely, pleomorphic adenoma and Warthin's tumor, were compared. RESULTS: Pleomorphic adenomas were usually solid and they showed lobulation and an exophytic growth. Warthin's tumors usually contained a cystic component, and were usually oval without lobulation and confined to the parenchyma. One of two malignancies showed well-defined margins and five benign tumors showed ill-defined margins. CONCLUSION: The ultrasonographic features should be cautiously used to discriminate among the various histologies of parotid gland tumors.

BACKGROUND: Core needle biopsy is a relatively new technique used to diagnose salivary gland lesions, and its role in comparison with fine needle aspiration cytology needs to be refined. METHODS: We compared the results of 228 ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy and 371 fine needle aspiration procedures performed on major salivary gland tumors with their postoperative histological diagnoses. RESULTS: Core needle biopsy resulted in significantly higher sensitivity and more accurate tumor subtyping, especially for malignant tumors, than fine needle aspiration. No patient developed major complications after core needle biopsy. CONCLUSIONS: We recommend ultrasoundguided core needle biopsy as the primary diagnostic tool for the preoperative evaluation of patients with salivary gland lesions, especially when malignancy is suspected.
