Management and treatment of a sialoblastoma of the submandibular gland in a neonateINTRODUCTION: Salivary gland tumors are interesting and challenging due to their relative infrequency of incidence, Histo-pathological (HPE) and behavioral diversity and the regional anatomic relationship with important structures. Salivary gland tumors comprise about 3-4% of all head and neck neoplasms. 70% of these tumors arise in parotid gland, 22% in sub-Mandibular gland and 8% in the rest. Of these tumors 80% of parotid, 50% of sub-Mandibular, 50% of sublingual and 25% of minor salivary glands are benign. Parotid gland is the most common site of salivary gland tumors. Most common parotid tumor is pleomorphic adenoma followed by Warthin's tumor. Most common malignant tumor of parotid gland is muco-epidermoid carcinoma. FNAC of salivary gland swelling is commonly accepted, sensitive and specific technique in the diagnosis of both neoplastic and non neoplastic lesions of salivary gland. The traditional open biopsy is no longer justified because of risk of tumor spillage and damage to the facial nerve. Treatment of parotid tumors is either by surgery (superficial/total parotidectomy) alone or surgery followed by radiotherapy in certain cases. Tumors should be excised, not enucleated. AIMS OF THE STUDY: To study the demographic profile of patients with parotid gland tumors to study the clinico-pathological features of parotid gland tumors. To evaluate the role of FNAC in the pathological diagnosis of parotid gland tumors and to correlate the FNAC reports with histopathology. To study the various surgical procedures adopted for parotid gland tumors and the incidence of immediate complications after surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between November 2007 and November 2009 at the Department of surgery of the Government Medical College, Calicut, Kerala 57 patients with parotid neoplasm were clinically evaluated and among them 32 were females and 25 were males. Nearly 50% of the patients belonged to 2 nd and 3 rd decades followed by 5 th and 6 th decades. Preliminary FNAC showed 32 (56.16%) out of 57 as pleomorphic adenoma, followed by Warthin's tumor in 17.54% and Muco-epidermoid carcinoma in 10.53%. The Benign epithelial tumor was observed in 8.77%, monomorphic adenoma in 3.51% and adenoid cystic carcinoma in 3.51% of the patients. RESULTS: All the patients were subjected to excision biopsy and Histo-pathological study. The Sensitivity of FNAC for benign tumors and malignant tumors was 100% and 80% respectively; Whereas the specificity for benign tumor and malignant tumors was 80% and 100% respectively. The Recurrence rate and post operative facial weakness were low. CONCLUSIONS: Sensitivity of FNAC for benign tumor was 100% and for malignant tumor was 80%. Specificity of FNAC for benign tumor was 80% and for malignant tumor was 100%. There were no complications attributed to FNAC. INTRODUCTION: Parotid gland is the most common site of salivary gland tumors. Most of these arise in the superficial lobe (1). Parotid tumors present as slow growing, painless swelling either below the ear or in the upper aspect of neck. Rarely these tumors may arise from deep lobe which present as para-pharyngeal masses (2). The utilization of parotidectomy for the treatment of neoplasms has been attributed to Betrandi (3). In the initial efforts to treat tumors of the gland, surgeons were concerned primarily about hemorrhage; patients were inevitably left with major disfiguration if they were fortunate enough to survive a parotid resection. By the mid-19th century, focus had shifted to facial nerve anatomy and techniques that would provide access for resection with facial/cranial nerve VII (CN VII) preservation. From a historical perspective, the first operation to use ether inhalation anesthesia was a parotid tumor resection performed by Dr. John C. Warren in Boston in 1846 (3). The first total parotidectomy with facial nerve preservation is said to have been accomplished by Codreanu, a Romanian, in 1892 (3). During the early years of the 20th century, many authors verified that removal of parotid gland tumors was possible with facial nerve preservation (4). Blair, Sistrunk, and others attempted to systematize the surgical approach to the facial nerve to ensure anatomic preservation when feasible, while assuring complete resection of the tumor. The first attempts at facial nerve grafting date. From the early 1950s a major series of FNAC of salivary tumors by Lineberg and Akerman in 1972 established the role of FNAC in salivary gland disease (5). The course of the facial nerve through the parenchyma of the gland is highly predictable anatomically; however, parotid tumors pose a special challenge to surgeons because of the diversity of histological subtypes and their remarkable variation in clinical behavior (6). Small benign tumors are quite indistinguishable from their malignant counterparts. Even when benignity of the neoplasm can be established with reasonable certainty, most patients are motivated to have surgical resection due to progressive disfiguration of an enlarging benign tumor (7). The present study was conducted to analyze the morphological, clinical features and the role of FNAC and HPE in the management of parotid glad tumors in this part of Kerala.

Sialoblastoma (embryoma): MR findings of a rare pediatric salivary gland tumor1997 •
We report the findings in a 21-month-old girl who had a noninfiltrating mass in the left cheek, just anterior to the masseter muscle, which, at surgery, proved to be a sialoblastoma. Sialoblastoma has a histologic appearance reminiscent of a primitive state of salivary gland development; that is, it shows an arrested state of salivary maturation. MR imaging in this case showed that the lesion was isointense with muscle on T1-weighted images, had a high-intermediate signal intensity similar to that of fat on T2-weighted images, and enhanced sparsely and nonhomogeneously.
