Pleomorphic adenoma (PA)
What's this?
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma
What's this?
Ranula
What's this?
Plunging ranula
Mucocele

Cause?
Tissue swelling composed of pooled mucus escaped from a
severed salivary duct into the connective tissue.

Continued production of the saliva even after the severed duct and pooling results
Mucocele

locations?
lower lip and minor salivary glands
Mucocele

Which is more involved?

major salivary glands or minor salivary glands?
minor salivary glands
Mucocele:

What's Ranula?
If swelling appears in the floor of the mouth as a result of minor sublingual gland duct severance it's called Ranul
Mucocele

What's Plunging ranula or mucocele?
Mucocele that occurs due to severance of Wharton's duct (submandibular gland)
Sialolithiasis

Cause?
Due to salivary stones blocking duct
Sialolithiasis

Which gland is affeted?
submandibular gland
Sialolithiasis

What's happens if the duct gets blocked?
bacterial infection occurs
Sialolithiasis

It will spontaneously heal
Sjogren's syndrome

Common?
uncommon
Sjogren's syndrome

age and sex?
elderley females
Sjogren's syndrome

what is it?
Autoimmune disease where the T-lymphocytes destroy exocrine glands

aetiologic factors?
viral and genetic
Sjogren's syndrome

what r the types?
primary and secondary
Sjogren's syndrome

Differentiate between primary and secondary SS
if the disease only affects the lacrimal and salivary glands it's primary

if it is related to other autoimmune disease (eg. rheumatoid arthritis systemic, lupus erythematosus, scleroderma) it's secondary

Papillary cystadenoma lymphamatosum

lateral or bilateral?
bilateral
Pleomorphic adenoma

what kind of tumour?
Mixed tumour
Wide variation in variation in parenchymal and stromal
differentiation
Pleomorphic adenoma

Why the term "Pleomorphic" was given?

Is this valid? why?
since it was thought the
growth originated from ‘multiple’ germ layers that give rise to ‘epithelial’ and ‘mesenchymal’ components of salivary tissue.

Now we know that, myoepithelial cell is present in periductal locations and has the ‘potential’ to ‘differentiate’ into “epithelial” and "connective tissue” cell types
