Abstract
BACKGROUND Salivary gland cystadenoma (SGCA) is a rare benign tumor that predominantly occurs in the parotid gland. SGCAs affecting the minor salivary glands are uncommon and often resemble, clinically and histopathologically, other salivary gland lesions. METHODS This study aimed to describe a series of four cases of SGCA affecting intraoral sites and performed a literature review of well-reported SGCA published in the English-language literature. RESULTS SGCA cases included in this series were diagnosed in the buccal mucosa, lip, and hard palate of female patients aged between 19 and 78 years. All cases underwent excisional biopsy and were histologically characterized by a multicystic growth with variable degrees of capsule formation and were lined by several types of epithelium, including some cell types that are infrequently reported in SGCA. In some cases, a small collection of lymphocytes was observed adjacent to cystic formations. All SGCA were positive for periodic acid-Schiff, and immunohistochemical reactions were positive for CK7 and p63. The follow-up time ranged widely from 3 to 53 months, and to date, no recurrence has been observed. CONCLUSION The literature review revealed a total of 33 published studies accounting for 55 SGCA cases.

J Cancer Epidemiol 2023; 2023:8844535. [PMID: 38026266 PMCID: PMC10681769 DOI: 10.1155/2023/8844535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Aims Salivary gland tumors (SGTs) are a rare and diverse group of tumors that account for 3 to 10% of all head and neck malignancies. We aimed to conduct a comprehensive epidemiological analysis of SGTs in the south of Iran and compare the findings with previous reports from Iran and other parts of the world. Methods Using a retrospective study, 405 patients diagnosed with SGTs were observed over an eight-year period between April 2013 and October 2021 in Shiraz, Iran. Patients' demographic and clinicopathological features were obtained from patients' records. Quantitative and descriptive data analysis was performed using SPSS software. Results There were 302 benign (74.5%) and 103 (25.4%) malignant SGTs. Pleomorphic adenoma and Warthin's tumors were the most common benign SGTs (70.5% and 21.5%, respectively). The most common malignant SGTs were mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma (26.2% and 22.3%, respectively). There was a statistically significant association between tumor origin and its malignancy status (p < 0.001). In addition, the results indicated that benign tumors were most commonly detected in the parotid gland (p < 0.05). The benign tumors were more frequently observed among the younger population (p = 0.006). Conclusion In summary, the findings of the current study were mainly consistent with the previous reports from Iran and the rest of the world. Benign tumors were the most prevalent type of SGTs, and the parotid gland was the most common site. While the majority of cases that developed from the major salivary glands were benign, all the minor SGTs were malignant. Older patients were more likely to develop malignant tumors compared to younger ones. This study provides insights into the prevalence, age-related incidence, gender distribution, and geographic variation of salivary gland tumors. This can be instrumental to develop a guideline for screening, diagnosis, and determining an optimal treatment.

Abstract
Background/purpose Cancer is an important part of the global burden of childhood diseases. Head and neck carcinoma in children is rare and related research is limited. This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological features of childhood head and neck carcinoma. Materials and methods Forty-two cases of childhood head and neck carcinoma treated in our institution were reviewed and analyzed. Results Median age overall was 11 years. Twenty-three patients (54.8%) were male and 19 (45.2%) were female. Parotid gland location was most common (54.8%). Mucoepidermoid carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma were the most common histological types (57.1% and 11.9%, respectively). Two patients had a history of bone marrow transplantation and two had a history of odontogenic keratocyst. The recurrence rate after treatment was 8.6%. Conclusion Early diagnosis and treatment and close follow-up of childhood head and neck carcinoma are warranted to prevent recurrence and improve clinical outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To characterize the presentation and treatment of children presenting with primary salivary gland neoplasms. METHODS A retrospective review of primary salivary tumor patients presenting to Children's Hospital Colorado between January 2000 and August 2020. RESULTS Fifty children were identified with primary salivary gland tumors, comprising of 39 (78 %) benign and 11 (22 %) malignant lesions. Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common benign tumor (36/39, 92 %), while acinic cell carcinoma was the most common malignancy (7/11, 64 %). The parotid gland was the most common site, followed by the submandibular gland (66 % vs. 34 %). No tumors were found in the sublingual glands. Benign neoplasms accounted for 70 % of parotid lesions and 94 % of submandibular tumors. No significant differences in age (13.6 years, SD 4 vs. 13.0 years, SD 4.3) were noted between patients with benign and malignant disease, but tumors in females were more frequently malignant (M:F 1:1.3 vs. 1:2.7 for benign and malignant tumors, respectively). Neck dissection and/or facial nerve sacrifice were required in 27 % (3/11) and 9.1 % (1/11) of malignancies, respectively. Local recurrence was observed in 7.7 % (3/39) of benign cases and 9.1 % (1/11) of malignant cases. No salivary malignancies required chemotherapy, though one patient with neurofibromatosis received imatinib prior to resection. Two patients with locoregional malignancy received adjunctive radiation. The average duration of follow up for benign and malignant disease were 12.6 ± 25 and 45.1 ± 32 months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study presents one of the larger single institutional experiences of pediatric primary salivary neoplasms in the past 20 years, identifying pleomorphic adenoma and acinic cell carcinoma as the most common benign and malignant etiologies, respectively. While this review found most neoplasms presented as a localized mass effectively managed with conservative surgical resection, aggressive tumors required multidisciplinary care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinicopathological, therapeutic, and survival data on pediatric major salivary gland cancers. MATERIALS AND METHODS National Cancer Database (NCDB) query from 2004 to 2018. RESULTS In total, 967 cases of individuals under the age of 21 were identified. Most cancers affected the parotid gland (86%). Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (41.3%) and acinic cell adenocarcinoma (33.6%) were the most common. Tumors occurred more often from age 11 to 21, and females were more affected. Histology varied by age, gender, and race. In the 0-5 age group, mucoepidermoid carcinoma and myoepithelial carcinoma/sarcoma/rhabdomyosarcoma were the most common pathologies. In patients over 5 years old, mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most frequent tumor in boys, while acinic cell adenocarcinoma was more common in girls. African American patients had a higher incidence of mucoepidermoid carcinoma, while White patients in the 0-5 age group had a higher incidence of myoepithelial carcinoma/sarcoma/rhabdomyosarcoma tumors. Low-grade tumors were commonly diagnosed at stage I, but the 0-5 age group had a high frequency of stage IV tumors. The overall 5-year survival rate was 94.9%, with 90% for the 0-5 years age group and 96% for the 11-15 years age group. Negative margins were associated with higher 5-year survival rates in high-stage tumors (93%) compared to positive margins (80%). Submandibular malignancies had worse 5-year survival rates across all age groups. CONCLUSIONS Major salivary gland malignancies in pediatric patients exhibit variations in histopathologic characteristics by age, gender, and race. Negative margins impact 5-year survival rates, especially in high-stage tumors.

Abstract
Neoplasms of the salivary glands are relatively uncommon, with varied histologic subtypes. Only 5% of these occur in the pediatric age group. The submandibular gland tumors account for just 11.5% of pediatric salivary gland tumors. Few studies have reported the occurrence of pleomorphic adenoma arising in submandibular gland in a child. We describe a case of pleomorphic adenoma affecting submandibular gland in a girl aged eleven years and provide a brief review of current literature. Thorough diagnostic evaluation is required, considering the diverse differential diagnoses of pediatric submandibular masses. Although benign, recurrence and malignant transformation are pertinent concerns in pleomorphic adenoma, especially in a child, considering long life expectancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Salivary gland tumors (SGT) are a diverse group of uncommon neoplasms that are rare in pediatric patients. This study aimed to characterize the clinicopathological profile of pediatric patients affected by SGT from a large case series derived from an international group of academic centers. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective analysis of pediatric patients with SGT (0-19 years old) diagnosed between 2000 and 2021 from Brazil, South Africa, and the United Kingdom was performed. SPSS Statistics for Windows was used for a quantitative analysis of the data, with a descriptive analysis of the clinicopathological characteristics and the association between clinical variables and diagnoses. RESULTS A total of 203 cases of epithelial SGT were included. Females were slightly more commonly (56.5%), with a mean age of 14.1 years. The palate was the most common site (43.5%), followed by the parotid gland (29%), lip (10%), and submandibular gland (7.5%). The predominant clinical presentation was a flesh-colored, smooth, and painless nodule. Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) was the most frequently diagnosed SGT (58.6%), followed by mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) (26.6%). Surgery (90.8%) was the favored treatment option. CONCLUSIONS Benign SGT in pediatric patients are more commonly benign than malignant tumors. Clinicians should keep PA and MEC in mind when assessing nodular lesions of possible salivary gland origin in pediatric patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acinic cell carcinoma (AciCC) is the second most common pediatric malignant salivary gland tumor. However, there are limited pathology publications about this tumor in the pediatric population. METHODS We describe four pediatric AciCC cases diagnosed between 2000 and 2021 in our institute. Reticulin histochemistry plus immunohistochemistry for NR4A3 and DOG1 were performed on all cases. RESULTS Histologically, all four cases featured a tumor-associated lymphoid proliferation and collagenous stroma, in which two formed central scars. The tumors were predominantly solid, with a lobular pattern and variably sized dilated spaces, including one case with focal microcysts. High-grade transformation was not observed in any of our cases. Reticulin stain and immunohistochemistry for NR4A3 showed distinct features between AciCC and non-neoplastic salivary gland parenchyma. DOG1 immunohistochemistry confirmed the acinar origin of AciCC. CONCLUSIONS Our study reveals that pediatric AciCCs often present with tumor-associated lymphoid proliferation (TALP) and sclerosis. Special stains such as reticulin histochemistry and NR4A3 immunohistochemistry are helpful to separate tumor from adjacent benign parenchyma. The ancillary study is helpful for the diagnosis of small specimens. Our study is limited by its low case number, but we hope that our results will promote more studies on this rare salivary gland tumor in the pediatric population.

Abstract
Salivary gland disease in the pediatric population is rare, yet it encompasses a wide spectrum of disease. It is estimated that 4.3% of salivary gland disease occurs in the pediatric population, with most classified as nonneoplastic. Further extrapolation reveals that 5% of salivary gland neoplastic diseases occur in patients younger than 20 years. Moreover, salivary gland tumors represent 1% of all head and neck tumors across all ages. Regardless, clinicians across all fields should be familiar with the workup of various pediatric salivary gland diseases and appropriate referral to a pediatric otolaryngologist.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Parotid tumors are rare neoplasms in adults but are exceedingly infrequent in adolescents. We aimed to determine the clinical characteristics and outcomes of parotid tumors in adolescents under 20 years old. METHODS Between 1999 and 2020, 979 cases of benign parotid tumors and 236 cases of malignant parotid tumors were treated surgically in our department. Of these, 12 benign cases (1.2%) and 9 malignant cases (3.8%) were in adolescents. There were no benign or malignant cases for those aged under 10 years. RESULTS Regarding the histological type, all benign tumors were pleomorphic adenomas. About half of malignant tumors were mucoepidermoid carcinomas, and excluding one high-grade case, the grade of malignancy was all low/intermediate. The accuracy of fine-needle aspiration cytology among adolescents showed no significant difference with that of adults. In contrast to adults, adolescent benign tumor cases showed a markedly high rate of pleomorphic adenomas and no postoperative facial nerve palsy. Malignant tumors in adolescents had a different trend than adults; low/intermediate-grade malignancies were common and thus few symptoms/signs of malignancy could be observed. As well, the accuracy of fine-needle aspiration cytology was poor. All cases had a good prognosis and are disease-free survival. CONCLUSION Parotid tumors in adolescents are rare but have several characteristics that are distinct from adults. As long-term observation is required posttreatment in adolescent patients, recurrence in benign pleomorphic adenomas and poor long-term prognosis in malignant tumors, especially for those with low/intermediate-grade malignancy, are more likely to be observed.

Abstract
Introduction Children can present with a wide variety of parotid diseases. However, most of them do not require surgical treatment. The indications of parotid surgery in children may differ from those in adults. In this study, we aim to review the indications and outcomes of parotidectomy in our pediatric population. Methods Retrospective review of the medical records of patients who underwent parotid surgery at age <18 years in two tertiary centers over a 14-year period. Results A total of 18 parotidectomies were performed on 18 patients with a mean age of 13.5 years. All patients presented with a parotid mass. The most common procedure was superficial parotidectomy followed by total parotidectomy. Ten patients were diagnosed with a benign parotid disease (55.6%). The most common benign disease was pleomorphic adenoma. There were eight cases of parotid malignancy constituting 44.4% of all patients and 57% of patients presenting in the age range of 12-17 years. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most common malignancy (six patients). Fine needle aspiration biopsy was performed in 12 children with a sensitivity, specificity, and overall accuracy of 62.5%, 50%, and 58.6%, respectively. The most common complication was temporary facial weakness (33.3%) which resolved in a mean time of 2.5 months. No disease recurrences were identified. Conclusions Parotidectomy is uncommon in the pediatric age group. Children with a solid parotid tumor have a higher risk of parotid malignancy when compared to adults. A parotid mass presenting in the second decade of life is more likely to be malignant than benign.
