Sebaceous adenoma of the submandibular gland : a case report

Abstract: Sebaceous adenoma of the salivary gland is a rare tumor comprising 0.1% of all salivary gland neoplasms and less than 0.5% of salivary adenomas. Histologically, sebaceous adenomas are benign neoplasms consisting of sebaceous cells arranged in nests forming acinar and duct-like structures. Oncocytic metaplasia may also occur in some areas. We describe a case of sebaceous adenoma in the submandibular gland. Under a presumptive diagnosis of sialadenitis/sialolithiasis, the patient was administered multiple course… Show more

“…Some posit that such tumor cells were derived from pluripotent epithelial cells [8], Boecker et al [12] elucidated the p63+ K5+ progenitor cells may be the cells of origin of the extraocular SGC, but which subpopulation preferentially targeted for SGC initiation was unknown. While others suggest they developed from malignant transformation of differentiated sebaceous cells [10].…”

“…The sebaceous adenoma is a rare, benign tumor that accounts for 0.1% of all salivary gland neoplasms and slightly less than 0.5% of all salivary adenomas [12]. Slightly more than 30 cases have been reported to date [12,[15][16][17]. The mean age at initial clinical presentation is 59 years (range, 22-90 years) with a male-to-female ratio of 4:3.…”
