Tumors of the salivary glands.A clinicopathological study of 160 cases

Mucous Gland Tumours

“…All the tumours of low grade malignancy were from the parotid; the remaining 3 were derived from the tongue, the parotid and the submaxillary glands. Smith, Broadbent and Zavaleta (1954) found 7 mucoepidermoid tumours in their series of 32 oral mucous gland tumours, an incidence of 30 per cent compared with the 5 per cent incidence in Stewart, Foote and Becker's (1945) series, the 7 per cent of Rawson et al (1950) and the 11 per cent of Foote and Frazell (1953). The 3 muco-epidermoid tumours in the present series give an incidence of just under 4 per cent.…”

“…However, he considered at least 12 of these tumours to be basaliomas, which are now generally considered as distinct from mixed tumours. On the other hand, none of the 100 mixed tumours in the series reported by Rawson, Howard, Royster and Horn (1950) metastasized. Here the authors had been careful to adopt narrow histological criteria for the diagnosis of mixed tumour.…”

WITHDRAWN: Comparison of the effect of total conservative parotidectomy versus superficial parotidectomy in management of benign parotid gland tumor: A systematic review

“…Some studies reported recurrence rates between 20% and 45% (Rawson et al, 1950;McFarland, 1936;Patey and Thackray, 1958). It was reported by Claus et al that local recurrence takes place in at least one-third of the patients who undergo enucleation (Wittekindt et al, 2007).…”

“…The tumor capsule was opened, and the tumor tissue was totally lifted out of the capsule (Rawson et al, 1950). With this technique, capsular structures were left in situ.…”

Leiomyosarcoma of the parotid gland: A case report and review of the literature

“…[1][2][3][4] One of the rare histologic types known is the primary leiomyosarcoma of the salivary gland, of which only three cases have been reported in the English literature. These tumors appear to arise from undifferentiated pluripotential mesenchymal cells and are to be distinguished from malignant supporting tissue neoplasms that secondarily involve the glands by direct extension or metastasis.…”
