Salivary Gland Tumors

     Salivary gland tumors typically occur in the major salivary glands. The three major salivary glands are the parotid gland, submandibular gland, and sublingual gland. The minor glands are found throughout the mouth, pharynx, larynx, and paranasal sinuses. Most of the salivary tumors are benign, meaning that they are not cancerous. There are usually in the parotid gland or in the palate if it is a minor salivary gland tumor.
    Most of the benign tumors are pleomorphic adenoma tumors. This tumor has epithelial tissue with ducts and epithelial cells mixed with areas that have similar characteristics of ground substance of connective tissue. The myoepithelial cells are what produce the tissues that resemble connective tissue. Patients that have these benign tumors claim to have no pain in the affected glands. The reason for this may be that the innervated nerves are numb and weak. What should a patient do with a benign salivary gland tumor? Surgery is a possible option for parotid gland tumors in which the entire gland will be removed.

  2. Thanks for sharing!

    Salivary stones form when chemicals in the saliva accumulate in the duct or gland. They mostly contain calcium. The exact cause is not known. But factors contributing to less saliva production and/or thickened saliva may be risk factors for salivary stones.
