1. Non neoplastic lesions of the
salivary gland
INDIAN DENTAL ACADEMY
Leader in continuing Dental Education

2. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lecture student should be able to :
•Describe the etiology, clinical features, histopathological
features of necrotizing sialometaplasia
•Describe the etiology, clinical features, histopathological
features of adenomatoid hyperplasia of salivary glands
•Describe the etiology, clinical features, histopathological
features of sialadenitis
www.indiandentalacademy.com
3. • An uncommon, locally destructive inflammatory
condition of the salivary glands
• Result of ischemia that leads to local infarction
• Predisposing factors: Traumatic injuries
Dental injections
Ill-fitting dentures
Upper respiratory infections
Adjacent tumors
Previous surgery

4. • 75% on posterior palate
• 2/3rds are unilateral
• Most common in adults – mean 46 yrs
• M > F
• Initially seen as non-ulcerated swelling, often
associated with pain or paraesthesia
• Later, crater-like ulcer develops

7. • Acinar necrosis
• Squamous metaplasia of associated ducts
• Overall architecture is maintained
• Liberated mucin may be associated with
inflammatory response
Squamous metaplasia
www.indiandentalacademy.com
8. • Biopsy to rule out malignancy
• No specific T/t
www.indiandentalacademy.com
9. • It is an uncommon benign non-neoplastic
enlargement
• 1st
described by Giansati & Waldron in 1971
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. • Painless, tumor-like swelling of the palate
• Age range : 39-50 yrs
• M>F
• Hard palate > soft palate
www.indiandentalacademy.com
11. • Largely unknown
• May be a reaction to chronic trauma
• Some authors have seen predominance in
smokers, denture-wearers or both
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. • Glandular tissue is hyperplastic
• Morphology is normal, but some isolated
lobules may appear hypertrophic
• Ductal dilatation seen
• Inflammation when present is focal
www.indiandentalacademy.com
14. • Slow-growing non-neoploastic lesion
• Age range: 12-63 yrs
• M=F
• Almost always in parotid glands
www.indiandentalacademy.com
15. • Circumscribed, but lack encapsulation
• Consist of sclerotic, hyalinized connective tissue
• Hyperplastic ductal and acinar elements are seen in
the fibrous tissue.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
16. • Ductal lining fequently shows apocrine-like
metaplasia and hyperplasia, sometimes with
formation of transluminal bridges giving
cribriform appearance.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
17. • Sometimes ducts are seen surrounded by
eosinophilic globules.
• Foci of acinar components may contain large,
strongly eosinophilic, PAS-positive cytoplasmic
granules.
• Lymphocytic infiltration of variable intensity seen .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
19. • Wide excision
• D/D: Mucoepidermoid or other Ca
• Pleomorphic adenoma
www.indiandentalacademy.com
20. Developmental conditions
• Atresia – exceedingly rare, congenital occlusion
or absence of one/more major salivary gland
ducts
• Aberrancy – occasional cases seen within body
of mandible
• Stafne cyst
www.indiandentalacademy.com
22. • Represents inflammation mainly involving the
acinoparenchyma of the gland
• Acute infection more often affects the major
glands than the minor glands
www.indiandentalacademy.com
23. • Retrograde contamination of the salivary ducts
and parenchymal tissues by bacteria inhabiting
the oral cavity
• Stasis of salivary flow through the ducts and
parenchyma promotes acute suppurative
infection
www.indiandentalacademy.com
25. • Neoplasms (pressure occlusion of duct)
• Sialectasis (salivary duct dilation) increases the risk
for retrograde contamination. Is associated with
cystic fibrosis and pneumoparotitis
• Extremes of age
• Poor oral hygiene
• Calculi, duct stricture
• NPO status (stimulatory effect of mastication on
salivary production is lost)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
26. • More common in parotid gland
• Suppurative parotitis, surgical parotitis, post-
operative parotitis, surgical mumps, and
pyogenic parotitis.
• The etiologic factor most associated with this
entity is the retrograde infection from the
mouth.
• 20% cases are bilateral
