[Present status and place of sialography].

Roentgenography without contrast media and sialography, as well as the basic facts concerning the radiodiagnostic of the salivary gland, are all discussed with regard to the most current equipment, examination techniques, the positioning of patients, and the problems involved in contrast media. The technique used in more than 4,000 sialograms is recommended. The diagnostic value of this method is illustrated by means of representative patient series: sialolithiasis, inflammatory disorders, and tumors. The limitations of the method are demonstrated and complementary examinations shown.

Focal adenomatoid hyperplasia of salivary glands. A differential diagnostic problem in fine needle aspiration biopsy.

Adenomatoid hyperplasia of minor salivary glands is an idiopathic lesion usually involving the palate and mimicking a primary salivary gland neoplasm. In particular, the lesions may resemble low-grade mucoepidermoid tumors clinically and by fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology. An illustrative case is presented, and the nature of this unusual entity is reviewed. Its importance in the differential diagnosis of FNA biopsies of minor salivary gland lesions is also discussed.

Biopsy, Needle↗

[Accessory salivary tissue and deceptive ectopia].

Histopathologic diagnosis in three patients presenting with a cervicofacial salivary tumoral mass was respectively an inflamed accessory salivary glands, two small islets of ectopic salivary glands and an ectopic salivary duct.

[Inflammatory granulation tissue polyp of the submandibular gland].

Case report on a pedunculated granulation tissue formation in a duct of the salivary gland with consecutive obstructive sialadenitis, clinically imposing as submandibular tumour. The morphologically particular and rare form of such a repair process in a salivary gland can be explained by the continuous chronic irritation of a foreign body. The significance of such a benign lesion is primarily given by clinical differential diagnosis to a tumorous process, where the histological verification permits the exclusion of a tumour.
