“…Lymphatic malformations are commonly unilateral and would not present with systemic involvement [ 3 ]. The diagnosis of Warthin tumours relies on histopathological examination identifying cystic structures lined by oncocytic epithelial cells and lymphoid stroma with germinal centres [ 4 ]. Finally, the drainage tract of branchial cysts contributes to their identification [ 3 ].…”

Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease characterized by the destruction of exocrine glands. Clinically, this results in the loss of tear and saliva production. Although xerophthalmia and xerostomia, also known as sicca, is a common presentation among adults, paediatric patients more often present with recurrent parotitis and glandular enlargement. Overall, symptoms can vary, making initial diagnosis challenging. Approximately 80% of patients with Sjögren's syndrome experience parotid gland enlargement, however, salivary cysts are rare. Herein, we present a case of paediatric Sjögren's syndrome where a 12-yearold female presented with a two-month history of bilateral parotid masses. The patient denied any history of xerostomia, xerophthalmia, or constitutional symptoms. Imaging revealed bilateral complex cystic intraparotid masses. A right parotid gland biopsy was performed showing parotid gland parenchyma with dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate. Ultimately, the presumptive diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome was made. This case illustrates the importance of a thorough workup to aid in diagnostic certainty. Parotid cysts associated with Sjögren's are rare but should be considered within the differential diagnosis for paediatric patients with parotid swelling/mass.

A Large Phyllodes Tumor With Axillary Lymph Node Involvement: A Case Report

Malignant phyllodes tumors of the breast are uncommon and complex to treat. This case involves a 39-year-old woman with a rapidly growing mass in her right breast measuring 32cm. The patient underwent a bilateral mastectomy with a right sentinel node biopsy and right chest wall reconstruction. The final pathology of the tumor revealed a malignant phyllodes tumor, with one of two right axillary lymph nodes positive for metastatic phyllodes tumor. Malignant phyllodes tumors should be taken into consideration in any rapidly growing breast mass. Further studies analyzing the treatment of malignant phyllodes tumors are necessary to reduce the risk of tumor recurrence and metastasis.

Introduction. Warthin tumors are the second most common benign tumor of the salivary gland, located mainly in the parotid glands, sometimes bilaterally. The main risk factor is nicotine addiction. The aim of the study was to present our own experience in the diagnosis and treatment of salivary gland neoplasm, and to analyze the risk factors for the development of Warthin tumors. Materials and methods. The study group consisted of 55 patients operated on with Warthin tumors (between 2009 and 2023). 55 control individuals with no Warthin tumors were recruited. The patients underwent a retrospective analysis of risk factors for head and neck cancer. Results. Warthin tumor patients reported salivary gland diseases, such as urolithiasis, inflammation, dry mouth, nicotine addiction, and chronic diseases, such as hypercholesterolemia. In 83% of cases of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of Warthin tumors, results were confirmed by postoperative histopathological diagnosis. The therapy included extracapsular tumor removal, partial parotidectomy with preservation of the facial nerve, and removal of the submandibular gland. Postoperative complications were a cutaneous fistula and paresis of the marginal branch of the facial nerve. Conclusions. The study confirmed that nicotine addiction (smoking duration and number of cigarettes smoked per day) was the main risk factor for developing Warthin tumors. An increase in body-mass index (BMI), hypercholesterolemia, salivary gland diseases, and dry mouth symptoms manifested Warthin tumors. FNAB, ultrasonography (USG) and computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast were essential in the diagnostics and planning therapeutic strategy. The main treatment used in the clinic was extracapsular tumor removal.
