Intraductal papilloma in the parotid duct.

Intraductal papilloma arising in the major salivary gland is uncommon. We treated intraductal papilloma of the parotid gland in a 41-year-old man with a 3-week history of a painless mass in his right parotid gland. Radiologic imaging studies revealed a well-circumscribed solitary mass, 1 cm in diameter, at the posterior edge of the right parotid superficial lobe. Complete excision of the mass was performed under general anesthesia. Pathologically, the mass consisted mainly of a cystically dilated salivary duct filled with dark brown muddy components and a cluster of growing papillary cells, leading to the diagnosis of intraductal papilloma. The literature on intraductal papillomas of the major salivary glands is reviewed, with particular focus on preoperative diagnosis of this condition.

[Intraductal papilloma of the parotid gland].

BACKGROUND: This rare intraductal papilloma of the salivary glands is classified as an adenoma of the subgroup ductal papillomas. The nature of intraductal papillomas has not been fully researched. It is assumed that the intraductal papilloma arises from the excretory duct reserve cell population. Since the lesion was first described, 9 cases have been reported. CASE REPORT: An additional case of intraductal papillomas of the parotid gland is presented: a 62-year-old woman with a solid and well displaceable tumor of the left preauricular region. After a standard superficial parotidectomy was performed the histological examination revealed an intraductal papilloma. RESULT AND CONCLUSION: The case represents the first published case in German literature. This study presents a review of the literature and a discussion of the histopathologic characteristics and possible histogenesis of the intraductal papilloma. Regular follow-up has not revealed any recurrence of the disease 15 months after resection. The treatment of choice is local excision or removal.

Intraduct papilloma of the palate. Report of a case.

Salivary gland papillomas are rare tumours arising from ductal epithelium. Intraduct papillomas are the most rare of all duct papillomas. Only four intraduct papillomas have been described in a review of nearly 3100 epithelial salivary tumours. Intraduct papillomas are located almost exclusively in the excretory ducts of the minor salivary glands. However, also the major salivary glands may be affected. Microscopically, the tumour consists of fibrovascular papillae covered by a columnar or cuboidal epithelium. The authors describe an intraduct papilloma of the palate in a 74-year-old woman. The excision of the lesion was curative.

Intraduct papilloma of parotid gland.

Intraduct papillomas of the salivary glands are rare solitary tumours. Most of the reported cases have occurred in minor salivary glands. A case which occurred in the parotid gland is reported. Fine needle aspiration was performed on this tumour, and the cytological appearances of the aspirate were suggestive of an adenoid cystic carcinoma. This is an important potential diagnostic pitfall which should be borne in mind when interpreting aspirates from salivary gland tumours.

Intraductal papilloma and papillomatosis.

The benign papillary neoplasms of the breast are still controversial topics in general surgery. There are two forms of the benign papillary lesions, solitary intraductal papilloma and multiple intraductal papilloma. These disorders are very rare and their clinical behaviour is different in each case. In this study, two cases of the multiple intraductal papilloma are presented and clinical findings and surgical therapy are discussed.

Solitary intraductal papilloma of the minor salivary glands.

A case of solitary intraductal papilloma of a minor salivary gland is presented. The lesion was diagnosed clinically as a mucocele and has not recurred in 6 months of observation. This case is compared, on the basis of clinical data and histomorphologic findings, to three other known cases. Discussion is made of the role this lesion might play in the etiology of ductal obstruction, and the histologic findings of the intraductal papilloma of minor salivary glands and the solitary intraductal papilloma of the breast are compared.

Intraductal papilloma of the submandibular gland.

Salivary tissue intraductal papillomas are rare, benign tumours that predominantly affect minor salivary glands. We report a case of an intraductal papilloma arising in the unusual site of the submandibular gland. The tumour was completely excised and recurrence is not expected. A brief review of this histologically distinct lesion is presented.

Myoepithelial cell staining patterns of papillary breast lesions: from intraductal papillomas to invasive papillary carcinomas.

We evaluated 25 intraductal papillomas and 18 papillary carcinomas (invasive, 4; micropapillary ductal carcinoma in situ [DCIS], 5; cases originally classified as intracystic/intraductal papillary carcinoma, 9) by calponin, smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SMM-HC), and p63 immunostains. Calponin, SMM-HC, and p63 labeled myoepithelial cells (MECs) in all intraductal papillomas and all micropapillary DCIS cases. The invasive papillary carcinoma cases were uniformly negative for all stains. The 9 cases originally diagnosed as intracystic/intraductal papillary carcinoma showed more variable results, with identification of an MEC layer in only 4 cases. Comparison of staining of MECs by these 3 stains showed that calponin was more sensitive and intense than SMM-HC; however, there was cross-reactivity with myofibroblastic cells. Staining with p63 was discontinuous, making interpretation of an intact myoepithelial layer difficult. Of 9 cases originally classified as intraductal papillary carcinoma, 5 showed absence of a basal MEC layer by immunohistochemical analysis. The lack of a basal MEC layer in these cases suggests a spectrum of progression from in situ to invasive disease and might help explain distant metastases from previously reported "intraductal papillary carcinoma."

Clonal analysis of solitary intraductal papilloma of the breast by means of polymerase chain reaction.

Clonality of solitary intraductal papillomas of the breast was analyzed using a method based on restriction fragment length polymorphism of the X-chromosome-linked phosphoglycerokinase (PGK) gene and on random inactivation of the gene by methylation. The application of polymerase chain reaction to this method enabled clonal analysis of such a small intraductal lesion as papilloma. Clonal analysis of DNA samples obtained from the nine solitary intraductal papillomas and adjacent normal breast tissues showed that all of the papillomas were monoclonal and all the normal breast tissues were polyclonal in origin. When DNA samples were obtained from four widely separated sites in the papillomas, clonal analysis showed that all were monoclonal and, in addition, the same allele of PGK gene was inactivated in each case. These results demonstrate that solitary intraductal papilloma arises as a single monoclonal tumor and extends along the ducts rather than occurring as multicentric monoclonal tumors and merging together subsequently. Immunohistochemical staining of smooth muscle alpha-actin, a marker protein of myoepithelial cells, revealed that solitary intraductal papilloma was composed of approximately equal mixtures of luminal epithelial and myoepithelial cells. Since solitary intraductal papillomas were shown to be monoclonal in origin, it was suggested that this disease originates from a common precursor that could differentiate into both luminal epithelial and myoepithelial cells.

Fine needle aspiration cytology of an intraductal papilloma originating in a sublingual gland. A case report.

BACKGROUND: Intraductal papilloma of the salivary gland is a very rare tumor; only eight cases have been reported to date. Only histopathology has been used to investigate this tumor to our knowledge. There has not been any reported case of this tumor in a sublingual gland. CASE: A 3-cm oral floor mass with a lanulalike lesion in a 72-year-old female was aspirated. The cytologic features included various cellular smears containing compact clusters of papillary, radial, palisading, trabecular, tubular and buddinglike projected patterns; monomorphic columnar cells with oval-to-spindle nuclei basally located; abundant, finely vacuolar cytoplasm; indistinct nucleoli; and no squamous differentiated cells. A sublingual glandectomy was performed. Cytology, histology, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy were performed with standard methods. The intraductal papilloma seems to have arisen within an excretory duct and differentiated into acinar cells. CONCLUSION: The cytologic findings of intraductal papilloma are unique and may allow its specific diagnosis on fine needle aspiration.

The operative management of intraductal papilloma of the breast.

Intraductal papillary tumors of the breast exhibit bloody nipple discharge with often no evidence of a palpable tumor, making discrimination between benign and malignant lesions sometimes difficult for pathologists and surgeons. However, appropriate surgical management requires correct differentiation between these lesions. According to previously reported 3-dimensional analyses of intraductal papillary lesions, solitary papilloma originates in the large ducts while multiple papilloma originates in the peripheral ducts and often coexists with intraductal carcinoma. We performed selected ductolobular segmentectomy on both solitary and multiple intraductal papilloma, and even on small foci of intraductal carcinoma which were found inadvertently. The favorable results of this surgery include a fine cosmetic appearance, functional breast feeding and no recurrence of papilloma during the 2 to 7 year follow-up period. In this article, the operative method of selected ductolobular segmentectomy is described.

A case of intraductal papilloma of breast in advanced age.

Breast tumors have their various biological characteristics as to advanced age of patients. Intraductal papilloma is a benign tumor of the breast which is known to occur in the premenopausal young females. Tumors of the breast in the senile females are found mainly to be breast cancers. No any cases of intraductal papilloma over 80-years were reported in Japan to date. We have recognized mammary tumors in old aged patients to be cancers, but it is necessary to put it into mind there are a few intraductal papillomas even if advanced in age. In this report, we present the most senile case with intraductal papilloma in our institute.

Magnetic resonance imaging of intraductal papilloma of the breast.

To describe the appearance of isolated intraductal papilloma on contrast-enhanced water-specific, high spatial-resolution and rapid dynamic breast MRI, a retrospective review of unilateral breast images of 15 pathologically proven papilloma was performed. MRI revealed three patterns: Four papillomas were small, smooth, enhancing masses at the posterior end of an enlarged duct, corresponding to the "small lumenal mass" appearance of papilloma known from galactography. MRI detected two of these "small lumenal mass" papillomas in patients with abnormal nipple discharge even when galactography was unsuccessful. Seven papillomas were irregular enhancing masses detected in patients without nipple discharge. None of these papillomas had specifically benign findings. All seven demonstrated rapid enhancement and three showed rim enhancement or spiculation. These "tumor-like" papillomas mimicked invasive breast cancer on MRI. Four papillomas were occult on MRI, not revealed by either contrast-enhanced MRI or fat-suppressed T(2)-weighted MRI. Intraductal papillomas present with a variable appearance on MRI ranging from occult to "small lumenal mass" papillomas to irregular rapidly enhancing lesions that cannot be distinguished from invasive cancers.

Papillary adenocarcinoma possibly arising from an intraductal papilloma of the parotid gland.

We report a case of a 70-year-old female with a papillary adenocarcinoma which we believe to have originated from an intraductal papilloma of the parotid gland. A few cases of intraductal papilloma of a minor salivary gland have been reported; however, to our knowledge, intraductal papilloma and, hence, adenocarcinoma originating from an intraductal papilloma of the parotid gland, have never been described.

[Study of CD44v6 protein expression in intraductal papilloma and its malignant transformation of breast].

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: CD44v6 plays an important role in the malignant transformation of breast epithelia and is differentially expressed in normal and neoplastic breast tissue. The diagnostic value of this marker in differentiating malignant from benign breast lesions has not been well examined. This study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic value of CD44v6 protein in distinguishing between benign and malignant papillary lesions of the breast, which is be difficult morphologically, by determining the level of CD44v6 expression in different lesions of the breast. METHODS: The level of CD44v6 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry in 111 paraffin-embeded blocks. RESULT: The positive expressive rates of CD44v6 protein in the basal epithelial cells of the normal tissue, intraductal papilloma, and its malignant transformation, intraductal carcinoma, invasive ductal carcinoma were 95.00%, 85.72%, 66.66%, 66.66%, and 0.00% respectively. The difference between the intraductal papilloma and its malignant transformation was not significant(P > 0.05). However, the positive expressive rates of CD44v6 protein in the luminal epithelial cells of the above lesions were 5.00%, 20.41%, 83.34%, 93.33%, and 100% respectively. There was difference between intraductal papilloma and its malignant transformation(P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: CD44v6 detection by immunohistochemistry is useful in distinguishing intraductal papilloma from its malignant transformation of the breast.

Intraductal papilloma of the salivary gland. A report of two cases with diagnosis by fine needle aspiration biopsy.

BACKGROUND: Intraductal papillomas are rare, benign tumors most commonly encountered in minor salivary glands. They are cystic, solitary neoplasms that arise from ductal epithelium and produce painless swellings. CASES: Two cases arose in major salivary glands. The first case was a superficial, firm mass at the superior edge of the parotid, cytologically evocative of an adnexal tumor. A firm, submandibular mass in the second case was diagnosed as a papillary neoplasm. Fluid was aspirated from both cases. Three-dimensional epithelial clusters, some with a papillary configuration and histiocytes, were the main cellular components. The majority of cells showed oncocytic differentiation; however, benign-appearing ductal cells in honeycomb sheets were also present. The first case also had occasional cells suggestive of sebaceous differentiation. The excised lesions were unilocular cystic papillary neoplasms consistent with intraductal papilloma; focal sebaceous differentiation was noted in the first case. CONCLUSION: Awareness of the cytologic features of intraductal papilloma of the salivary glands should prompt its inclusion in the differential diagnosis of papillary lesions of the head and neck.
