Clinico-Pathological Review Study of Neoplastic Diseases of Major Salivary Glands with Radiological Correlation
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Introduction: There are 2 types of salivary gland tumors – major comprising of parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands and numerous minor salivary glands with maximum number in hard palate, soft palate, buccal mucosa, nasopharynx etc. Most salivary glands tumors are benign with less than 20% of them being malignant and are named according to the cell types found under microscopy. Aims and objective of the study was to correlate the clinical diagnosis along with cytology, radiology and histopathological diagnosis and the role of FNAC, USG and CT/MRI in the neoplasms of salivary gland tumors. Material and methods: From all patients attending ENT OPD in our hospital with complaints of salivary gland swellings were evaluated according to the exclusion/inclusion criteria were selected for the study over a span of one year. FNAC is a valuable test but its role is controversial. Results: Ultrasound can delineate location, homegeneity or heterogeneity, shape, vascularity and margins. CT/MRI help in evaluating the extraglandular extension, predict possibility of malignancy based on poorly defined margins. Conclusion: In our study we found that clinical examination, FNAC and USG of the tumor gives us adequate knowledge about nature of disease and should be the ideal first line modality of investigation with CT/MRI as the next to go option for the evaluation and planning of a malignant disease management.
